See e.g. http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/conkeror/src/conkeror/content/bindings.js?rev=HEADcontent-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup The author will also update the Conkeror website with license information.

Package: wnpp Owner: Axel Beckert [EMAIL PROTECTED] Severity: wishlist * Package name: conkeror Version : 0.34 Upstream Author : Shawn Betts [EMAIL PROTECTED] * URL : http://conkeror.mozdev.org/ * License : MPL or OSI-approved[1] Programming Lang: JavaScript, XUL Description : completely keyboard driven Gecko based web browser Conkeror is a Gecko based and completely keyboard driven web browser implemented as Firefox extension[2]. It has no toolbars or buttons and its keybindings are modeled after Emacs, but it also offers optional vi-like keybindings. Notes: [1] Exact license still unclear since it's not mentioned on the website and I have no feedback neither from the #conkeror IRC-channel nor mailinglist yet. I've also skimmed through the source code and haven't found anything, but since the mozdev.org policy for hosted projects only allows projects under MPL or an OSI-approved license, it should not give any bad surpises here. :-) [2] It's implemented and installed as a Firefox extension, but using a wrapper script loading the appropriate chrome files, it should be able to install it as it would be a standalone browser (using all the Firefox preferences, though). Additionally, any user can choose to start conkeror instead of firefox when firefox is called. But I don't want to implement this as default. It also seems to really need firefox and not only xulrunner. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

It's quite nice to see that while the Mozilla foundation are really picky about their names, they don't seem to care at all about other app (even open source ones) names.

Yeah, I already wondered about the really misleading name. But I just hadn't a better idea for a package name and so have chosen the straight one. But you're right, I should better name it firefox-conkeror (since all the mozilla-firefox-* packages seemed to have been renamed to firefox-*). It's quite nice to see that while the Mozilla foundation are really picky about their names, they don't seem to care at all about other app (even open source ones) names. .oO( Phoenix, Firebird, ... ) Well, yes, you're right about the Mozilla Foundation. But Conkeror is no Mozilla Foundation project, it's just a Firefox extenstion with a strange name and hosted at some site, which also seems to have no affiliation with the Mozilla Foundation. It's rather it's own foundation, see http://www.mozdev.org/about.html as we http://www.mozdev.org/faq.html#mozilla.
