Indeed, the only real breakthrough is that we now have a script to create an Ungooglified source tarball with all unnecessary third_party components removed. The compressed tarball is smaller than that of IceCat and takes up around 2.1 GiB uncompressed, roughly 1GiB of which is third_party stuff. That leaves "just" over 1GiB of source code to audit (assuming my third_party audit is correct). I haven't been able to find any proprietary parts in first party code, and am convinced that the remaining third_party components are free, hence this patch. I am of course happy to help other FSDG distributions liberate their Chromium too. --=-=-= Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQEzBAEBCgAdFiEEu7At3yzq9qgNHeZDoqBt8qM6VPoFAlxbS/sACgkQoqBt8qM6 VPocZgf+Pkn1O48620Eeq+46cW1UWmD9rO+sc2Mnm25TJZVneFWgnEel+cFVgp8c FH1lvkScAkMi28WcI93nQCq7OqVJOZ7h9gvMmAhEZEvyoWFn/cylIFM39iNdU3pE 6sC5nWR5cEt6mNbjiddoV1OxftsgyVVyVizr/tCGHhLW/xtFaYHZ/zN+h3I1oZk2 aNqa33DaYf8A3ZbYsXmKqtQQIsuAPs10dTppt1mmEe9xnOndu8KO6n9Spa4f0IUR RHoU05cz4uCAXmAbB5Lam6lbZmM2xlvZExTcvzmM51jvDHSQ5dE7yk4s1ZLCgAKT VlaeQRdSI6GUe4wiFzhk3my2dkcDFg== =yfJH -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-=-=--
