Package: chromium
Version: 111.0.5563.64-1
Severity: wishlist

Unicode produced a number of files years ago that contained a problematic 
license with the following restriction:

"Unicode, Inc. hereby grants the right to freely use the information supplied 
in this file in the creation of products supporting the Unicode Standard"

This is not free because it prevents the use of the file in ways that do not 
support the Unicode standard.

In 2004 Unicode relicensed their files under a different license that does not 
contain this restriction.

These is their current copyright and terms of use statement:

http://www.unicode.org/copyright.html

Which links to their current license:

https://www.unicode.org/license.txt

For many years, Chromium integrated an older copy of `Convert-UTF` with the 
problematic license. When the problem was brought to their attention they 
updated the file's license.

https://bugs.chromium.org/p/google-breakpad/issues/detail?id=270

https://chromium.googlesource.com/breakpad/breakpad/+/14bbefbd9600e08d6a34d7250faa8bc9dba2113e%5E%21/

The Debian Chromium package currently includes three other files that still 
contain this problematic license in their headers.

src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/icu/source/data/mappings/iso-8859_10-1998.ucm
src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/icu/source/data/mappings/iso-8859_11-2001.ucm
src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/icu/source/data/mappings/iso-8859_14-1998.ucm

Even though these files are contained under the `chromium` subdirectory, they 
do not exist in the upstream Chromium git repository:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src.git/+/refs/heads/main/third_party/

I am uncertain where exactly they enter the stream of code that is packaged as 
Chromium on Debian.  Wherever it is, they can be updated with the correct 
license.

Identical files (except for the licenses) are found in the Unicode GitHub 
repository:

https://github.com/unicode-org/icu/tree/main/icu4c/source/data/mappings

These were updated to the non-problematic license in 2015:

https://unicode-org.atlassian.net/browse/ICU-22007

A copy of the bad license also appears in:

src/3rdparty/chromium/third_party/breakpad/breakpad/LICENSE

It needs to be removed, and, if breakpad uses the ICU files, replaced with the 
license at:

https://www.unicode.org/license.txt

Qt WebEngine includes the same problematic files.  There is an upstream bug 
filed with Qt at:

https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-112008

There is also a Lintian bug regarding the detection of this problematic license:
