Please note that you sent your email to our general questions lists. Since Opera is a a third-party application for us the more adequate list would have been ports@FreeBSD.org (CC'ed, please drop questions@ from CCs on further replies). > My name is Anna Rajsman and I am working in Opera Software.

As other pointed out in a rather rude way, for which I apologise, FreeBSD (and *BSDs in general) are not Linux. Since we're rather proud of our unix heritage people do tend to get inflamed when someone talks about BSD as being an some Linux distro. > We would like to ask you if you would like to distribute the > Opera browser with your OS?

Opera is in our ports framework, both the native version and the linux version (both maintainers CC'ed). I don't know offhand if we distribute the binaries on our CD images; from reading the licence I don't see the any requirement to have a signed agreement for this, but if this is not the case please let me know. I am using Opera as my primary browser since v3 or something, but I am a little disappointed the the problems we're seeing on FreeBSD are rarely addressed. And indeed the binaries you're producing are for FreeBSD 4.x and 5.x while we will release 6.2 in a month. --=20 IOnut - Un^d^dregistered ;) FreeBSD "user" "Intellectual Property" is nowhere near as valuable as "Intellect" BOFH excuse #379: We've picked COBOL as the language of choice --Sig_y_HinGsQ_mr9EHozFvPiOww Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFFXhtoBX6fi0k6KXsRAlK8AJ9vtktjThSqDmTpEy2HuGZNGI4pFwCgmf0o j0UXTc28a2frgcu7APdsKIM= =ujLO -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_y_HinGsQ_mr9EHozFvPiOww--
