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?

I never said Blink wasn't licensed differently, but if chrome's use of blink is no different that chromiums then blink in the code does not link to anything proprietary in chrome. And they can point to chromium as a full opensource implementation where all changes exist...
That's not how the LGPL works. The LGPL requires that I be able to modify Blink, then link it back into proprietary Chrome and be able to use it. Hence the requirement to either use dynamic linking or distribute relinkable object files.

It's not about the changes to the LGPL'ed code, it's about the users' freedom to *make their own changes*.
