Free GUI needs a browser engine that can work like all the other applications and system, however it will end up.
There is a long list of requirements for this intense idea to come together. Some of these requirements, and especially the particular form they must be adapted to, will depend largely on the intensity of the larger idea that comes into view. A specially adapted browser engine is one of the key must-haves.
The browser engine has to be able to function with the rest of the toolbar customization system, and whatever other systems the idea incorporates, such as an umbrella plugin management system or a configuration system, etc.
Licensing
The browser engine needs to fit into the larger licensing scheme for the whole idea, which is also still very much up in the air between a permissive license, and a fully copyleft license.
2 Considerations
- Copyleft license ecosystem
- GPL / AGPL / LGPL
- Permissive license ecosystem
- MIT / Apache / BSD
I would much prefer a fully copyleft ecosystem, but that might not be realistic.
What are the options for a browser engine at that point?
