Idle thought: can you build Google Chrome's `chrome` binary from Chromium source code, verbatim? Is this documented anywhere? If not, isn't this an LGPL violation, since it embeds Blink which is LGPL-licensed?

The fuck. There's a string in the official Chrome binary from a file with a huge LGPLv2.1 header (at least, probably zillions more). Does Google Legal know something we don't about the LGPL, or are they just incompetent?

Looking at the file that has Blink and FFmpeg linked (chrome_child.dll on Windows, anyway), I'm not sure it actually contains anything that isn't reproducible with the Chromium source?

That's possible. On Linux it's the main chrome binary. That's why I asked in the OP if that entire file was reproducible from Chromium source.
