Look at point 11.x, says something about “a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute any Content which you submit, post or display on or through, the Services.” So, if I submit this with Chrome, it will become property of Google Inc. They will be revising the liccense soon, english version should be updated now.

They say it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GLrAAChKRQ But in the license says: "10.2 You may not (and you may not permit anyone else to) copy, modify, create a derivative work of, reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to extract the source code of the Software or any part thereof, unless this is expressly permitted or required by law, or unless you have been specifically told that you may do so by Google, in writing." Is that the freedom? I don't think so. Is the google chrome an Open Source Software? They say it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GLrAAChKRQ
