That's a common FLOSS issue, it's just less known by the Linux
community, since most major distros really {re,}distribute binaries.
However, Arch Linux is one of the major Linux distros, that also
provides BSD port alike "recipes". The user can "cook" the packages by
using the "recipes", but is free to change the "recipes". Conflicts
related to "recipes", on how to "cook" a package don't happen often,
but they do happen. Actually a "recipe" neither contains the source,
nor binaries. The Arch Linux "recipe" for a package contains shell
functions to get whatsoever from upstream and to build a package, that
after building the package by individuals, likely contains binaries, as
well as header files. This can lead to "I am not a lawyer, but...
bikeshedding".

Btw. I refrain from recommending any additional browser by this thread.
Some of you might be aware of software development started by good guys
and later was continued by a consortium of investors, that aren't
necessarily nice, too. At least one well known and much liked browser
suffers from this issue, too + it changed from an engine way older than
Chromium, to some Chromium thingy.
