[Pkg-chromium-maint] Bug#849264: chromium-browser: copyright file is incomplete

[Sandro Knauß]

Source: chromium-browser
Version: 55.0.2883.75-3
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 12.5

Hey,

chromium is a big piece of software and includes many third-party
modules. Unfortunatelly the copyright file is not correct for some
files.
third_party/WebKit/public/platform/WebContentLayer.h
et.al. are BSD-2-clause instead of BSD-3-clause.

As the maintainer of QtWebEngine, that is using a chromium copy
internally, you can see the copyright file for this copy:
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/pkg-kde/qt/qtwebengine.git/tree/debian/
copyright#n2849
(you find chromium source under src/3rdparty/chromium/)

I've only checked that BSD-2-clause and GPL-2 parts of WebKit are
missing in the copyright file. But I think with further searching will
show more differences.

Best Regards,

sandro
