Reference:
https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=28291

I can just see in past that there were issues on
various files and licenses.

If those issues are clarified or finalized, I
don't know.

The other reference I know is that there are some
proprietary plugins which can be enabled in
Chromium. How is that distributed or provided, I
don't know.
