Re: Why is Vivaldi not under a free license ?
Came across this ... https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/526840-Tumbleweed-4-12-8-1-broke-mozilla?p=2836564#post2836564 & its response.
Apparently there's no reassuring or persuading some people.

As nice as it would be to have FOSS everything, more important is how the company is run. FOSS doesn't mean squat if the company doesn't really believe in it. Look at android. Technically, it's FOSS, but Google treats in a very closed manner and tracks the users to the N-th degree.
Vivaldi on the other hand isn't FOSS, other than making attempts to open source (open tech like html, js + making some of the source available). But more importantly it listens to users and treats them right, and I think I value that a lot more.
