I've listed the license for this project as BSD, the link to the license file is here. Would people agree with this?-- Stephen Judge ( talk) 12:40, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Should this be its own article? Aizuku ( talk) 11:50, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
I vote against merging because though Google Chrome OS will be based on the Chromium platform, it will be a separate distinct product. Chromium will be available for any person to use as a free platform from where they can build their own applications based on it. However, Chrome OS will be available from Google and will contain modifications and specifications as needed for the much hyped Operating system from them to be used for netbooks and PCs. Basically, its a similar story as Linux and other applications built using it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shenoyshrikants ( talk • contribs) 16:14, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
(Added <discuss merge> templates to both articles) Barte ( talk) 17:05, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
As I read this, there's no consensus for merging, at least for the while. I'm removing the templates. Barte ( talk) 22:24, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
Does the mention of the Chromium Build Kit on Sourceforge pass the notability test? The cite goes to the project page; no other mention noted. Barte ( talk) 17:05, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
The statement about Chromium OS being a derivative of the Debian GNU/Linux operating system was removed from the article at this edit. The statement is supported by two sources as cited with the statement, [2] [3].
The edit comment said, "Neither source demonstrates this and recent reporting contradicts it: see Chrome OS." In fact, both sources show that Chromium OS was derived from Debian OS. The chart in the second source at [4] clearly shows that Chromium is derived from Debian, and the license that comes with Chromium OS (the other source cited) says:
The editor who removed the text references the WP article at Chrome OS. The current version of that article cites a single magazine article at the end of the paragraph which discusses Chrome's origins, however, it is unclear which facts the magazine article is cited for. In any case, the current Chrome OS article itself says that Chrome OS was derived from the Debian Operating System (Ubuntu variant).
Therefore, I am reinserting the text back into the article with a prefatory statement about Google's silence regarding Chrome's origins. Sparkie82 ( t• c) 03:01, 15 March 2013 (UTC)
Vaughan-Nichols concurs with the assertion that it originally came from Debian (via Ubuntu) and later Gentoo, so that source supports what is being claimed by the other sources. The source that published the chart is not an open blog — it looks like it is an independent publication. Regarding the license, as far as I know, there is no WP guideline that requires that published software licences must be linked as an object file in the source code. The license was published by Google at chromium.org. The only contradictory information appears to be from Nelson. I think the best way to handle it here is to state who says what about its origins.

@ Comp.arch: I couldn't quite fix the citations you added; you might want to have another go. Also, what do you think about moving/copying your addition to Chrome OS? This entry is pretty much for info related solely to Chromium OS. Whereas Chrome OS is really the foundation article and has a broader scope. That's my take, at least. Barte ( talk) 21:22, 25 January 2016 (UTC)
I've removed this paragraph from the lede:
The intro is suppose to give an understandable summary of Chromium OS--and this paragraph doesn't succeed. Among the problems, we have no clear definition of what a packaged application is, or was as according to the Google primary source, package applications are no longer supported by the OS. The second sentence makes more sense, but it's about Chrome OS. So a reader might well ask: what's it doing here? If we really want to extend the intro, it should be with summary material that is specifically about Chromium OS. Barte ( talk) 14:53, 27 January 2016 (UTC)
Has anyone tried the ArnoldTheBat builds listed on the page/has a reasonable certainty that they're correct builds that haven't had anything malicious injected in them? AwesomestUser ( talk) 16:27, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/ this refers to it as "ChromiumOS", it is also consistent with ChromeOS Omilc ( talk) 22:12, 22 August 2022 (UTC)
