google chrome "big brother"

2010-12-17 Thread S Mathias
Google Chrome Terms of Service(Google Chrome executable), BSD (source code and 
Chromium executable except chromium 5 beta),BSD License with proprietary parts 
(source code and chromium 5 beta executable, as it integrates Adobe Flash 
Player 10.1[1])[2]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome
in my interpretation, this means Google Chrome is fully open-source, only the 
flash player has proprietary codes.
am i right, or i'm missing something?
i would be happy if someone could correct me.
thank you!!
*ps.: because "they" say google is the "big brother"

AFAIK, what is open source is Chromium but not Chrome.

In regards with the "big brother" tag (OTOH, who are "they"?), I think is 
due to the fact Google's eye is almost everywhere, but has nothing to do 
with their software licenses.

Thanks, all.

After all that, Chromium is not in Lenny, wheter main or backports, and I am 
stuck (by choice, of course) in Lenny until Trinity matures,  So I installed 
Chrome.  I don't much like doing that, but I want to look at Chrome/Chromium.
