+## Flying Saucer – Origins
+
+- **Founded**: 2004  
+- **Founder**: Josh Marinacci  
+- **Where**: Launched on Java.net as an open-source project  
+- **Why**: To build a **pure-Java XHTML + CSS 2.1 renderer**—simpler than full browser engines like Gecko/WebKit.  
+- **Goal**: Standards-compliant rendering for embedding in Java apps or generating PDFs (with iText), without scripting or heavy browser features.  
+- **Notable**: Sun Microsystems once considered bundling it with F3 (early JavaFX Script), but it stayed independent.  
+- **License**: LGPL
