Netscape just announced that they're going to release the source code
to Communicator 5.0 with a license that allows modification and
redistribution "in the heritage of the GNU Public License." No
details on the specific license yet, but it sounds *very* hopeful.
The point is... we *will* be able to add all the funky new features
we want. Complaining about the browser will no longer be acceptable
now that we will be able to *do* something about it. It also means
that Microsoft will get to compete head-to-head with a real free
software model. This is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate what
the free software model can do. I can already envision non-Netscape
"distributions," custom browser modifications for big customers, etc.
