That copyright file that everybody points to is automatically generated. Of course it couldn't find everything! But now if you now look at the copyright file, located at http://metadata.ftp-master.debian.org/changelogs//main/c/chromium-browser/chromium-browser_51.0.2704.79-1_copyright and run the following command:

 $ grep License: chromium-browser_51.0.2704.79-1_copyright | sort | uniq

there is nothing there with an unknown license.

Also, why is Chromium given this much scrutiny as opposed to other packages with large codebases like, say, Firefox? There are a few nonfree files or files without source code in the firefox source package. You can see a list of them in the Debian source package in the file debian/source.filter (these files are unimportant and can simply be removed, as Debian does) and I am copying the list here:
