Issue #140 has been updated by martin.
The issue is still WORK-IN-PROGRESS within other mostly-freedom-respecting distros as of this day: 1.| https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Chromium 2.| http://worldofgnome.org/why-fedora-doesnt-ship-chrome-and-chromium/ PS: I already pasted second ling on #parabola IRC channel some time ago. (= ---------------------------------------- Freedom issue #140: Possible to make a libre version of Chromium (web browser)? https://labs.parabola.nu/issues/140 Author: migathesecond Status: open Priority: wish Assignee: Category: Target version: First off, I've really taken a liking to Chromium. I've used it in the past, and I like the interface and how quick of a browser it is. However, I have heard about license issues in the past, involving unlicensed files in the source code. I have noticed that in the source, LICENSE is the BSD license. Doesn't that mean that any files without a license are under that license? If not, is there a way to remove those files without reducing any significant functionality to the browser? Do these license issues even still exist? I'm guessing so, because chromium-browser still conflicts with the 'your-freedom' package. I'd really like to be able to use Chromium on a fully free system. I'm sure I'm not the only one, but I don't really know how difficult it would be to make a libre Chromium. I'd like to find out where to start, and hopefully, with the help of the community, bring what I believe is one of the best web browsers to Parabola. If anybody wants to take a look at the source code, here is one of the latest versions: http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/chromium-browser-official/chromium-21.0.1180.4.tar.bz2 -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
