(Google) will only permit you to do so if the project is licensed under an OSI-approved license (https://opensource.org/licenses). I'm not a lawyer, but my understanding is that "public domain" code is more complex legally than code released under one of the OSI licenses.

"SBCL [is] a mixture of BSD-style (for a few subsystems) and public domain (for the rest of the system)" and Google contributes to that project. Perhaps you can point them to that case? Hope that helps. I'm not a lawyer either; I have no idea what would be required to change SLIME's license.
