There's been a great foofooraw in the press the last few days over the license terms for Google's new Chrome browser. Various folks were concerned that the EULA for Chrome would give Google ownership of their web postings; Google has admitted that was a mistake, and they fixed the offending clause. But of course, from the open source side of things, our interest in licenses is a bit different.

Right now I know as much about Google's new Chrome browser as everyone else - which is to say, I've read the comic book and the relevant blog postings. Our own Sam Dean has a good roundup of the facts as they are known so far, and when the code actually ships, we'll bring you coverage of how it works. But let's assume for the moment that Google delivers everything they promise: what effect will this have on the wider market?
