What is the license of the source code ?
LGPL-2 if I'm not misstaken.
Can you check more ?
And where is the code, and what does it do ?
ftp://ftp.opera.com/pub/opera/linux/1101/
That's not source code.
about:opera in opera should show you what you can do with it.
It's already in Mandriva, but the current version isn't opensource AFAIK.
I may be wrong......
So if this is not opensource, then it cannot go to tainted.
And if this is not opensource, we cannot build a opensource version out
of nowhere...
Just for reference the Opera end-user licence:
http://www.opera.com/eula/browser-linux/
Which confirms Michael's conclusion. It is proprietary software, with a
limited re-distribution right granted to linux distro's (Section 2).
That is why Mandriva puts it in non-free.
