10Description:
11This directory contains the source code of Abseil for C++. This can be used by
12Chromium, subject to the guidance at https://chromium-cpp.appspot.com/; it can
13be used without restriction by Chromium's dependencies, except that objects
14compiled into Chromium itself cannot use anything relying on
15absl::base_internal::FastTypeId (see https://crbug.com/1096380).
