Anyone able to get the download to work? I'm guessing that they've put the pages up, but not the files yet.

Google Chrome will be beta forever - so you just tell clients that it's beta and thus its a bug with the browser rather than your code...that work....right???

...and now this link doesn't work at all. Looks like someone pressed the wrong button over at Google HQ.

The download pages themselves went up - with some relatively nice screenshots of it, but it did nothing when you clicked on download.

Really loving the speed of this. Google is going to HAAAAATE the first person to come out with an adblocker for it though. A google program blocking Google adverts - the thought of it makes me smile.

It's using a BSD license so yes people are free to do with it what they want as long as they keep the bsd notice attached to that bit of code.

EDIT: full list of licenses that Chrome uses is available here

I agree - I can't see there being any incompatibility with BSD as it now stands.
