Since Apple itself currently does not intend to upgrade the browser, Cyberdog users are hoping that Apple will be willing to license the Kantara Development Company to use the Cyberdog source code. Kantara was apparently led to believe that this would happen, but it hasn't. In fact, after many months of waiting for Apple's written agreement, Apple declared its unwillingness to license the use of the Cyberdog source code, which is patented. Apple would also profit in terms of the appreciation felt by some of the most loyal of loyal Mac users, those of us who use Cyberdog. I strongly believe it is not in Apple's interest to act in such a way that it results in Cyberdog eventually losing relevance to new Internet trends.
Computers cost too much money for most people to make the purchase blindly.
So Cyberdog lovers have written a petition to Apple. We're asking them to please license the Cyberdog source code so the Dog can keep up to date with changing Internet conditions. I figure if it's good for Apple, it's bound to be good for all of us who love our Macs. Just as PC users should hope the Mac survives, people who don't even use Cyberdog have a personal stake in its survival. That's all there is to it.
