Hi,

the patch at [1] enables the use of FreeBSD API keys which allows things
like Google Sync to work.  However [3] states that these keys "are not
for distribution purposes and must not be shared with other users".
There has been some discussion about this on how to deal with this for
source-based at [2], but it seems no consensus has been reached.  Is it
permitted to include these keys in the FreeBSD Ports Tree, and if not,
are there any alternatives?

Thanks,
René o behalf of freebsd-chromium
