The liberation procedure is right there in the package definition:

<https://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/chromium.scm#n229>.

This script is what creates the FSDG-free source tarball presented to
users when they run `guix build --source ungoogled-chromium`.

There are comments in the script.  Please ask if any of the steps are
unclear!  Improvements welcome.
