[Ti] [OT] Safari v64 might be here

[David Remahl]

They never actually said they would make Safari open source. They build 
it with open source components, and harvest the work of the open source 
community, but they made a choice to use KHTML, not only because it was 
technically good, but because its license allowed them to keep the rest 
of the program closed source.

On the other hand, they are making WebCore public, and will even create 
a WebKit, which will allow developers to embed a very powerful browser 
view into their applications. Which is really all that matters. I don't 
think the User Interface part of Safari would be that interresting to 
have as open source. It is way too specific.
