Google's code is bsd-licensed. So while you might never have ad-blocking in Chrome, you can keep it in a derivative all you like ;)

And this strategy works out really well, too. 99% of people, the kind who will actually click on the ads, will just download Google's version and be happy. Hackers will switch to the ad-block-enabled version without any problems, and they wouldn't have clicked on the ads in any case.
