Exactly _one_ of those isn't open source: It's Opera. But
even Opera has a manpage. Imagine, a program which you don't
get the source code of has a manpage by default!

The other examples should simply illustrate that programs
which are primarily GUI-oriented can provide manpages. So
"examples" refers to software with manpages, not closed
source software (which is just included here).

Note that English is not my native language and furthermore
I'm quite stupid, so my writing skills are not that good. :-)
