"There is one major web rendering engine that grew entirely out of the open source world: KHTML is KDE's web renderer which was built from the ground up by the open source community with very little original corporate backing. The code was good and branches were born as a result, the best known being Webkit. Now, after years of split, KHTML and Webkit are coming together once again."

I see this used a lot, but I'm not sure that "competition" is the right term when it comes to something developed by free software communities. Wouldn't "alternative" be better? I mean, what are they competing for?
Marketshare.
Just because it's FOSS doesn't mean there's no competition! When you sit down to play games with friends, don't you intend to win? What would be the point of building an alternative if it wasn't intended to compete with an existing solution in some way.

This will bring REAL competition to Gecko, and everyone will benefit from this!
