As John Andrews writes, bait and switch is the practice of offering something attractive to draw an audience of consumers, to which you then sell an alternative. Has Google just done this to us with Chrome/Chromium?

Regarding license terms, see http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10031703-56.html"Google backtracks on license terms."In order to keep things simple for our users, we try to use the same set of legal terms for many of our products...We are working quickly to remove language from Section 11 of the current Google Chrome terms of service.The bait and switch issue is yet to be addressed.

@svalenzuela9312 My understanding is that "Chromium" is the released source project (that needs to be compiled to become a program/application). "Chrome" is the compiled project that Google have made and are distributing.
