There's a great irony here… Firefox is a derivative of the Mozilla code base which used to be known in the general public as Netscape. Netscape Communications was a for-profit company, that actually *sold* their browser for commercial use (it was only free for personal use). Chrome and Safari both derive from Apple WebKit which itself is a fork of the KHTML rendering engine developed by the KDE project, and has *always* been, LGPL licensed code since its first release in 1998. Yet today, Firefox is held up as the open-source darling and Chrome/Safari is seen as the proprietary devil. Go figure. :-) -- Stuart Longland (aka Redhatter, VK4MSL) I haven't lost my mind... ...it's backed up on a tape somewhere.
