You are right Lorenz, [2] doesn't really answer your question.
I have now added a LICENSE file to the packaging:

Title:
[snap] packaging license missing
Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
Hey there!
I'm searching for the license under which the contents of the snap-
from-source repository [1] are published. This repository is used by
Canonical to build the chromium snap.
The repository does not contain any LICENSE file, and the information
does not appear to be given anywhere else either.
As I'm not familiar with Launchpad, I already opened a question [2].
However, the given answers do not satisfy me.
I hope a Canonical employee can shed some light on this.
Some background: I'm maintaining a snap that is running on multiple Ubuntu
Core devices. This snap uses puppeteer and therefore requires packaging a
chromium instance. However, since headless chromium (snap) currently crashes on
startup, which looks like a result of the changes made when switching to the
gnome-extension [3], I can not build any new version, including security
updates, of my snap until the headless issue is resolved. Therefore, I'm
looking into the possibility of building the chromium snap myself with the
changes to use the gnome-extension reverted, at least until the issue with
Canonical's snap is fixed.
