    • lengau, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Well, Apple did actually start the Webkit project. That said, Webkit is just a fork of KHTML (which KDE created). So yeah... Technically it's either.
  • lengau, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1How can it be BSD-licensed? KHTML (and thus the rendering engine in WebKit) is LGPL.
    EDIT: Apparently it's got the full WebKit LGPL/BSD combo. LinuxDevices.com doesn't mention this.
  • schestowitz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Maemo (shown as an example) already has a fine open source and Mozilla engine-powered Web browser. Mimimo has difficulties because of Opera and it seems like this market is also becoming very well populated, which makes entry hard. Good luck to OWB though.
