Inspired by a recent bug report, I started taking another look at Chromium's current licensing situation, and it seems like there's been a lot of improvement. A lot of the problems I used to know about are gone. Using Debian's copyright file as a sort of guide, I went looking for files with bad licensing, and didn't have any luck -- a lot of the files that Debian classifies as "unknown" are autogenerated, or have good license headers that were just missed by whatever script they're using. The bug report that we link to in NONFSDG has seen a lot of progress since, including at least one update this year.
Is anybody interested in taking a deeper look at Chromium's current status to see if there might be a way to include it now? I remain loyal to Mozilla-based browsers myself, but I know a lot of users are interested in Chromium, so it would be nice if that was an option free distros could provide. -- Brett Smith License Compliance Engineer, Free Software Foundation Support the FSF by becoming an Associate Member: http://fsf.org/jf
