Opera's response to Open-Sourcing always was, that they would have no business that way. Apple doesn't care I believe, Google/Microsoft are in it for search and ads, Firefox isn't a business (and they make all money from search I think). While Opera makes a lot of money from search, they have a lot of OEM deals that they are afraid to lose.

So if there was no legal constraint, Presto could see day of light. If nothing else, then in patches to webkit :)



Mozilla is absolutely a business, they are just non-profit.
