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. More info here: http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/980122/ca_netscap_3.html http://www.yahoo.com/headlines/980122/business/stories/netscape_1.html http://www.infoworld.com/cgi-bin/displayStory.pl?980122.ehnetcode.htm
