From the Orion FAQ:

> Is Orion open-source?

> We’re working on it! We’ve begun with some of our components and intend to open more in the future.

> Forking WebKit, porting hundreds of APIs and writing a browser app from scratch has been challenging for our small team. Properly maintaining an open-source project takes time and resources we’re short on at the moment, so if you want to contribute at this time, please consider becoming active on orionfeedback.org.

I won’t be touching this binary with a ten foot pole until every line of code is open.

Many excellent alternatives already exist that are also open and free, I don’t see a compelling argument to use this software on any device at the moment.

Isn't Webkit GPL? How is it not open source?
