Why do they gate it this way? Don't they own GitHub?

Bad actors, just ludicrous..

Also, isn't it just a chromium fork? I wonder if ElGoog gave them speci licensing terms.

Chrome is released as "proprietary freeware"

Chromium is licensed as 3-clause BSD, which means $ms can do whatever TF they want with it. Fun.

Is it a gate? I mean, I guess it's an OR-gate... Do you want it free? You can download it. Do you want it on a disc? Send $5 and you'll get it.
