At the moment it is not as far as I can see. https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/6926aa6be75b944cca5aaad690b217e80a5781a9/Source/ThirdParty/libwebrtc/Source/third_party/boringssl/src/LICENSE
I opened https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290381 for updating it.
- Upstream WebKitGTK needs to bundle libwebrtc in the tarballs, which is also not happening and I'm not sure that they want to do it because the preference is to have a gstreamer-based webrtc implementation instead, see here for more details: https://wpewebkit.org/about/faq.html#what%E2%80%99s-the-status-regarding-webrtc%3F
There is a bug for that https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=196222
I'm not sure that I'm in the position to change this downstream in
Debian, this needs to be discussed with the WebKitGTK team first, this
could be a good place:
