IDK about the trace_data bits, but the jsmin license bits look like
real freedom issue:

        # temporarily allowing (need to fix path in Files-Excluded)
        license-problem-json-evil 
third_party/trace-viewer/tracing/third_party/tvcm/third_party/rjsmin/bench/jsmin.c
        license-problem-json-evil 
third_party/trace-viewer/tracing/third_party/tvcm/third_party/rjsmin/bench/jsmin.py

That said, it seems that that code was purged from upstream Chromium
in 2009 / v1.3.14 (based on the ChangeLog)?

So... why is it coming up?
