There’s a big misunderstanding here. The $5 would be to obtain a physical copy of the source code if the inquiry cannot be satisfied (for free!) online.
Why do they gate it this way? Don't they own GitHub?<p>Bad actors, just ludicrous..<p>Also, isn't it just a chromium fork? I wonder if ElGoog gave them speci licensing terms.<p>Chrome is released as "proprietary freeware"<p><a href="https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome" rel="nofollow">https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Chrome</a><p>Chromium is licensed as 3-clause BSD, which means $ms can do whatever TF they want with it. Fun.
