wow, this article by mary jo foley is remarkably clueless. a group of developers in australia is planning to release a "browser" under the gpl, written in visual basic, using the gecko and internet explorer rendering engines. or maybe on linux using the gecko and khtml engines. i can't believe this got any sort of coverage. clue for mary jo foley: all they're doing is putting a shell around other people's rendering engines! this is a day's work for a competent programmer.
