Nokia is to open its browser engine under a BSD license. The browser engine is developed with apple and based on Safari. Which is in turn based on khtml/konqueror. Which is KDE, which is GPL. So that's a derivative of GPL software appearing under a BSD license, or so it would appear. Now, presumably Apple negotiated non-GPL terms with the KDE folks for their use of the code in Safari. Did those terms include permission to open-source a derived product under non-GPL terms? If so, it would appear to have effectively killed copyleft on this particular software. -- Nick Kew _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
