[Linux-disciples] How Apple helps

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

Without following your links--Safari is based on khtml, not konqueror. 
I.e., it has the same rendering engine as Konqueror.  I believe the KDE libs 
are developed separately and probably have separate changelogs.

Also, not every company wants to make it so obvious what exactly they are 
doing. They may encourage employees to contribute changes upstream but not 
using their work email addresses.

If you can't find any more detail, you might want to ask Jesse Hammons (not 
a member of this list, but a member of the shared server list) who worked at 
Apple for many years if he knows.  His email is just jesse (at this server).
