What could go wrong.

Honest question: How can an entire html/CSS layout engine fit in a single layout.c that I can read over an afternoon? This looks too simple to be usable for serious work.

I am making this web browser. Ask me anything. Bug report welcome.

> Source-available under the Functional Source License v1.1 (FSL-1.1-MIT). Free for any non-competing use; converts to the MIT license on the tenth anniversary of each release. See LICENSE. You should not use the FSL name if you change the date of the license switch, which is originally set to the second anniversary. If you want to change that duration, you should use a different name to avoid confusion. Sentry intended for the FSL to be specific rather than general. The company's Deputy General Counsel stated: > TLDR, FSL is narrow in scope for a reason. > You're free to create your own license based on the FSL with AGPL as the change license if you rename it so that it isn't confusingly similar. https://github.com/getsentry/fsl.software/issues/53#issuecom...
