Google allows for modified versions of Chromium to use the official blue logo
and name under the CC-BY or BSD license, so it isn't like Firefox.
The biggest problem is that the licensing was unclear for some files.
However, nobody knows if it's still unclear, or if it was fixed (the last
time somebody checked was about a year or two ago IIRC).
I'd really like to finally see Chromium in free software operating systems.
It's been around for 4 years now, and it is a lovely browser. If one of the
problems is getting a free extension list going for it, I'd gladly help find
free extensions.
