It would take a lot more than change of license for Opera to be available on CD. It has to be Open Source project. My crystal ball is telling me Opera is not going open source any time soon.
I would be happy to sign your petition for the native build of Opera for OpenBSD. I do fell little bit claustrophobic having only choice of Firefox and Konqueror. I hope by 1st of November Midori gets better but WebKit is the most insecure of four search engines. I am also really curious how would native build work on bsd.mp kernel. Did anybody try to use tiny-proxy+Opera on bsd.mp? Does tiny-proxy solve the problem of locking? In my experience that seems to be the issue with bsd.mp and linux comp rather than with Opera per say. Is it possible to use native aspell with Opera? I didn't see the Linux version of aspell available among ports but installing Linux version of aspell shouldn't be too difficult. Cheers, Predrag
