Nokia’s move to webkit impacts Opera

Heise is reporting that Opera has lost 70% of its revenues, mainly as a result of Nokia reducing its licensing. (Robotic English version here). Nokia is switching to a WebKit based browser, which they have already released under a BSD license. It’s interesting to see how the KHTML toolkit originally started by the KDE project was adopted by Apple and now Nokia despite the existence of Gecko. Opera is reacting by extending its support to Sony’s Mylo (which runs linux), and Nintendo’s Wii and DS consoles.
