while ungoogled-chromiun package definition now contains

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
 ;; Don't arbitrarily restrict formats supported by system ffmpeg.
 "proprietary_codecs=true"
 "ffmpeg_branding=\"Chrome\""
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

does this conflicts with GNU FSDG?

Thanks!
Giovanni
