In September 2008, Google released the entire source code of Chrome, including its V8 JavaScript engine, as an open source project entitled Chromium.[2][3] This move enabled third-party developers to study the underlying source code and help port the browser to Mac OS X and Linux. A Google spokesperson also expressed hope that other browsers would adopt V8 to help web applications.[4] The Google-authored portion of Chromium is released under the permissive BSD license,[5] which allows portions to be incorporated into both open source and proprietary software programs.[6] Other portions of the source code are subject to a variety of open-source licenses.[7] Chromium implements the same feature set as Chrome, but without Google branding and automatic updates, and it has a slightly different logo.
Announcement
The release announcement was originally scheduled for 3 September 2008, and a comic by Scott McCloud was to be sent to journalists and bloggers explaining the features of and motivations for the new browser.[9] Copies intended for Europe were shipped early and German blogger Philipp Lenssen of Google Blogoscoped[10] made a scanned copy of the 38-page comic available on his website after receiving it on 1 September 2008.[11] Google subsequently made the comic available on Google Books[12] and mentioned it on their official blog along with an explanation for the early release.[13]At a media and technology conference in July 2009, Eric Schmidt, Google's Chief Executive, said for six years he was against the wish of co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page to build an independent web browser and operating system. He explained that the company was small at the time and he didn't want it to endure bruising browser wars. After the founders hired several Firefox developers and built a demonstration of Chrome, however, he changed his mind and became a huge supporter of Chrome and Chrome OS.
