[task #16556] Submission of ebrowser

[Jim Cao]

Follow-up Comment #6, task #16556 (group administration):

The marked.min.js is optional, if not retrieved, the readme just appears in
plain text, which is no big deal. I can even provides an html version directly
to avoid "marked" at all.

Chromium project is used to build shared library for electron. Do you know
which part of chromium is proprietary? If you can provide more information, I
can dig deeper to find out whether electron used that part or not. I can help
to make electron not depending on that part or what else I can do.

> As far as I understand it, it isn't necessary for a JavaScript code to be
'bundled' in order to make a single program; the additional parts can easily
be downloaded at the run time, like webview.js uses marked.min.js even without
realizing that it depends on that file.

> However, even parts of Chromium itself are not licensed clearly; that alone
could render it proprietary.
