   What downgrade attack are you talking about when   
   a browser is used internally within a company?

   By "chrome" did you mean "chromium"? I don't think the   
   former is open source.

   Thanks. The code is BSD and it uses a library which doesn't   
   have a copyright notice, but doesn't have a "public domain"   
   dedication either. So it's probably classified as implicitly   
   copyrighted freeware.
