No it's not. It's just free.
I'm wondering why nobody seems to consider webkit as the viable alternative:
* it's open source
* it's been ported to qt recently, which may lead openmoko to use qt libs
* there is a registered google summer of code whose aim is to port
webkit for openmoko
http://code.google.com/soc/openmoko/appinfo.html?csaid=B5A2E96741FD60E4
* there is an ongoing effort to put webkit & gdk together
http://trac.webkit.org/projects/webkit/browser/trunk/WebCore/platform/gdk
* so many firms use webkit in their own mobile products (ex: nokia
S60)... because it's maybe the fastest and lightest webengine
So.... Let's wait 'til the end of the summer :)

Florent
