Konqueror Passes the Acid2 Test Too
An anonymous reader writes "A month after Safari , and after a lot of controversy, Allan Sandfeld Jensen announced today that Konqueror passes the Acid2 test too. Half of the patches could be merged from Apple's Webcore, the rest needed to be rewritten from scratch."
Can someone tell any more news on whether KDE people are successful getting Apple to release their code properly? I know they obviously can use part of the code like they have here, as they have done some of it and pass the Acid2 test.
Is that enough under the GPL? shouldn't Apple be doing more?
Yep, let our motivation techniques from now on be insulting, ignorance and juvenile screaming.
In an other words, let us carry on in an usual slashdot way!
Yay! Penis!
*Sigh* Just because you want more from (whoever, Apple in this case), it doesn't give you the right to demand more than is required by the terms of any given contract or licence. It certainly doesn't give you the right to accuse them of breaking those terms when you're fully aware that they haven't.
Well maybe we differ there but I see it as an abuse of the GPL for apple to make it do something that it wasnt designed to.
For example, it was designed to make sure people who use GPL code from somewhere give back by releasing their changes & source for what they release
And technically apple have done everything but "give back" properly. they have taken a very loose definition of give back.
Unfortunately the GPL allows that but it wasn't designed to
And I see that as a big Abuse of GPL

Oh, be nice. The KDE project has to take its victories where it can get them these days. It's a walking dead project. The only thing that keeps it going is intertia and the noisy slashbots. The battle for the Unix/Linux desktop was over 2 years ago, they just haven't realised it yet.
