If you build Chromium yourself from source code, it actually
creates only an executable called 'chrome' and a manpage
'chrome.1': i.e., even the free version calls itself after
the non-free version. (Of course, since Chromium doesn't
contain an installation target, everyone has to write their own, and
maybe everyone has chosen to create such a symlink. But this
doesn't seem like something that it is safe to rely on.)
