Hey so am I right in saying the developer has no plans for a port simply because he doesn't have the necessary hardware?

Since it's based on open-source, he should at least release the modifications he's made to the backend (WebCore/KHTML).  That's assuming he has compiled it as a library, if he has somehow built it all together he'd have to release the source to the whole thing to comply with the LGPL.

I wasn't suggesting static linking.  I was saying if he somehow mashed the libraries into the whole project.

However if he does statically link he should release the source.  He can just release the objects of course, but that's not "in the spirit" of the LGPL.  

The crux of the work is in his modifications to KHTML to get it to compile under AmigaOS like systems, at least IMHO.

I'm not suggesting he wouldn't follow the LGPL, I'm only saying that for the people concerned about porting, the major parts of his source should become available so that ports can be done.
