Safari, maybe?

(Note to moderators: I've asked about Safari before, but was told it was illegal because it's closed-source. However, now that PortableApps.com supports Freeware, perhaps this would be OK. If not, please delete this topic... thanks!)

Program: Safari

License: Freeware

Description: Apple's Safari web browser

Website: http://www.apple.com/safari/

Still can't because Apple's license is too restrictive.

Drat. Not even an online installer, like Chrome's?

EDIT: apparently not. Quoted from the license...

attempt to derive the source code of, decrypt, modify, create derivative works of the Apple Software, or any part thereof (except as and only to the extent any
foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by licensing terms governing use of open-sourced components

Safari licenseYou may not rent, lease, lend, sell, redistribute or sublicense the Apple Software.

My apologies for not looking that up in the first place, it would have saved everybody some time...

your not redistributing it

your not redistributing it though, your distributing the launcher and having the user download from apple's website. But yes, you still need Apple's permission, I'm assuming, like you need google's permission for chrome, for safari. But safari stinks as far as I'm concerned and is used far less then Firefox, even though it came out for windows.

Well, let's see if John or one of the other developers knows for certain... (I'd assume John would make the final decision, since he's the one doing all the PA.c trademarking & licensing stuff)

I found another one.

But it's sucks.
It's not real portable although he says portable.
Someone should ask him to make a real portable because I don't know his mail address.

Anyway, Here it is.
