Ladybird is a truly independent web browser, backed by a non-profit.

Finally, another web engine is being developed to compete with Chromium and Firefox (Gecko), and they’re also working on a browser that will use it.

Here’s the maintainer talking about the current state of the project, and a demo of the current functionality

    I like this project and just hope it was gplv3 or some similar copyleft license

      Ladybird is licences under BSD-clause 2. Which allows privatization of the code.

      IMO a web browser should be GPLv3, specially to not allow DRM bullshit in the browser.

        AGPL, to prevent streaming (while not sharing the code).

          Yeah AGPLv3 is the best if it’s going to be hosted as a service. Which a lot of web services do. Good point.

            …to be fair browsers don’t really make sense for streaming, but you could call it “future proofing”.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
