Sorry for not fully doing my homework. I did not find anything on this list except for this message,[1] but after searching gnu-linux-libre I do see and have now read several threads including this one.[2] I have also taken a look at Guix's package source for ungoogled-chromium, and I think everything seems clear now, but if you don't mind I'd appreciate clarification on one point: Guix's package source contains what appears to me to be a whitelist of "preserved-third-party-files", each labeled with a known free license, implying that all other upstream third-party files, including any problematic ones, are excluded. If I'm understanding this correctly, does this mean that ungoogled-chromium *as packaged by Guix* is completely free, but that this should not be taken to mean that upstream is necessarily completely free? Thanks. I understand if you are weary of this topic, and I hope you don't mind providing this one clarification.
