Opera and Webkit CSS Extensions
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, April 29 2012 @ 01:49 PM EDT
"Webkit is LGPL, which automatically disqualifies it from being utilized in
any manner, by any Microsoft product."


That's a bold statement...
Microsoft used to distribute some GPL'd utilities with Windows 3.X, I believe
they still did with the Windows 9X series. And they did it correctly by
providing the Source code for download from their servers.
It is only in recent times that they suddenly can't face the GPL.

Opera and Webkit CSS Extensions
Authored by: Anonymous on Sunday, April 29 2012 @ 08:05 PM EDT

The issue is not "using webkit" itself, but copying the webkit "API" with an independent implementation.

"-webkit-" CSS extensions have become so popular that Microsoft, Opera, and Mozilla feel they have to support them. Not all of these extensions have been standardized through W3C yet. And, developers tend to only test mobile sites against iPhone/Android, which leaves less popular browsers out. So now the web has been unfortunately polluted with 'proprietary' webkit CSS declarations.
