Currently only a couple of months old test build is available. I’,m really looking forward for Opera release that runs Theora+Vorbis video directly in browser using HTML5 video-element.

IMHO, even though I'm an advocate of open source software, I doubt that opening the Opera code would do the browser any good. Lots of work would be lost because of forking and project coordination, plus as long as Opera has the manpower, there's no need in doing it. Although many peope don't liek to admit it, manpower is ne of the main reasons software goes open source. Very interesting interview, especially about open-sorcing the browser.

I think the tech press is underplaying Opera's valiant stand on open standards and how that's beneficial for users. Great interview, Daniel; thx for the heads-up.

And I actually understand Opera and JvT better now, in not going open source with Opera. I will show this article to a few colleagues of mine who often argue that Opera isnt OpenSource, I'm curious what they say afterwards. Maybe you guys can post this interview somewhere closer to the OpenSource community to make them read it and read their arguments in return. Could be interesting :) Rockon Opera! btw: Awesome Mini-session in Barcelona ;) A great interview about Opera’s strategy from my point of view.

But I was disappointed. You can still control Opera if you go open source. Look at Mozilla. You can still reject contributions if you want to.
