interesting to see the difference between "open source" and "proprietary source" - usually the comparison goes "open source - binary blob".
i will have to check my verbiage better in the future.
it seems my main point was "proprietary" (the reasons behind that choice, the consequences - because we all know where the money comes from when you give the software away for free) vs. "free" (as in richard stallman).

My main point being that you were comparing us with Opera. The new Opera (based on Chromium) is in a similar position to us. Large amounts of Open Source code with a proprietary UI. We are no worse than them.

well i never said that you are
worse, but i already apologized for confusing the facts; i just assumed there was a
point to the rift, plus your
story kinda facilitates that erroneous assumption.

The old Opera based on Presto was almost entirely closed source. We are clearly better than that in terms of openness and yet you seem to be suggesting that people should use Opera because it is more open. This is not true.

agreed, and i will never do that again.
