The browser wars have taken a new twist with Opera Software offering free software licenses to universities worldwide in an attempt to wean users off Internet Explorer.
The company said Wednesday that its offer is being made to protect academia from some of the flaws in "more vulnerable browsers" and to ensure a more secure, personalized Web-surfing experience for future generations of decision makers.

The offer has already been taken up by a number of high-profile institutions, including Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as well as Oxford University, according to the company.
