Opera Open Sources Dragonfly
netux writes to mention that Opera has released Dragonfly, their answer to Firebug, as an open source project under the BSD license. The release features a complete architectural overhaul using a modern version of the Scope Protocol (STP-1), a Mercurial repository on BitBucket, and a Wiki to get the ball rolling. "This is Opera’s first full open source project, so there will be a learning curve. We ask you to bear with us while we get everything up and running and policies in place. Coming from a closed source background there are some hurdles to overcome, such as the current bug tracking system being on a closed server. We hope to migrate to an open bug tracking system as the project gets on its feet."
A Linux distribution typically involves Linux.
As for the rest, I agree that it's a bit confusing, especially given the choice of license.

Damn, my RAM is full of llamas.
Would someone be so kind as to provide a mirror?
I tried to RTFA, but my office has my.opera.com blocked under the Forbidden Category "Intimate Apparel/Swimsuit". Who knew?

Yep, I'm an idiot. I mean FreeBSD. It was the first "live disc" that I ever experimented with.
Shall I assume the fetal position now or should my strategy be to hope that one of the first blows is directly to my skull resulting in my immediate unconsciousness?
My work here is dung.
We would add you technological and biological distinctiveness into our own, but your uncaring reference to Dragonfly BSD as a Linux distro has caused us to feel that such distinctiveness would result in a lesser ability to assimilate others. We will still make life hell for you, though.Oh, and resistance is futile.

>>> Confusion indeed.
Can I run that Live Linux BSD on my Commodore with Amiga OS 4??? Or will it be incompatible with Workbench?

That's OK the so called FreeBSD and other "UNIX" operating systems are Linux Like operating system

... are you sure you're a Slashdot user? I would rather confuse Mohammad with Jesus in an internationally distributed newspaper attributed to my real name than confuse Linux with FreeBSD on Slashdot under a pseudonym.
Is this some sort of trap? Are

Run dude, they're just trying to slow you down and keep you posting so they can get your IP address and zero in on your location.

*sigh* Another one seeking death in the BSD vs Linux affair, is it?
My son, the great Stallman taught us to be wary of those seeking martyrdom. Do you truly believe your actions worthy of those men that gave their lives in glory for Emacs vs Vi, or even more recently, Gnome vs KDE?
No. To your feet, knave. Your sentence is a short duration of trolling marked by significant.. intensity.
And for Stallman's sake, next time at least pick a side before seeking the sweet mercy of the blade.

I agree completely with your argument against adopting names used elsewhere. I was googling for local lacrosse teams, and next thing you know I'm at a dealership buying a Buick. It's so confusing.
