This is a nice reminder of how much better we have it now. Sure, it sucks that Chromium now dominates in the way IE did. But at least all relevant browser engines are now open source, which means quirks like “how can I get the engine to know about my fancy new tag” can be addressed by looking at the source. That’s a big step up from IE. It’s pretty impressive to me that a combination of Stallman inventing the (L)GPL, the KHTML team choosing it, and then market forces, brought us to the point that all big browser engines are open source. Mozilla would’ve always been, but I have no doubt that Apple and Google would’ve kept it all closed if they could have easily done so. To me, a long time GPL sceptic, this is the strongest example in favour of viral licenses. Thanks, FSF and KHTML team!
