Yes... not a link to a particular topic, but rather a general ad for
his own site.  Naughty, naughty, methinks.

But Roy, you do know what the wintrolls are going to say?  "How can
/you/ of all people criticise someone for inappropriate posting?!"  I
can hear them sharpening their metaphorical pencils as I type.

Anyway, www.linuxextremist.com.  I went and had a look, as I generally
do when I see a link and I have time to click on it.  And the latest
post I saw was about Opera 9 on Linux.  This got me thinking: what kind
of license is Opera released under.  I know it's free as in beer, but
is it proprietorial and closed source?

As I said, I had time to click on the link and give the site a quick
shufti, but not enough time to read it properly.  So, if the question's
answered there, please accept my apologies.  But I /think/ I once read
that the Opera browser is closed source.  I know damn well I had to
agree to a proprietorial EULA for the free as in beer Opera Mini web
browser for mobile phones.  And I'm kind of wondering, a name like
"Linuxextremist" would suggest that the site might be pro-FOSS.
