Is it true that Google doesn't want any one person to have
more than one Gmail account, and has cancelled the accounts
of anyone discovered to have more than one account?

If this is true, how would Google find out?
After all, two accounts using the same IP address is not conclusive
that they're the same person. Most households have only one Internet
access line (and therefore one IP address), shared by everyone
in that household, each them entitled to their own personal Gmail
account.
