I've checked through the list of licenses now comfortably offered by
the built-in url chrome://credits which is generated by a script in
the source which can be trusted, AFAIK.

There are many components and I wouldn't rely on my single analysis
now, since some details might have slipped through my attention,
however my outcome is positive, most licenses are BSD, Apache, MIT,
public domain, Expat etc. plus of course GNU GPL v2 and v3. To me it
seems there are no proprietary licenses tainting chromium ATM.

looking forward to more opinions.

ciao
