My own opinion is that Netscape is going the right direction with Mozilla. www.mozilla.org. They plan on putting out a beta soon. Sure it will have it's problems, but they are implementing many, many, new technologies using recommendations for industry standards. I hope more of the OSS community gets behind Mozilla. I am not a Lawyer, so I can't say exactly how the MPL differs from the GPL. The latest nightly build I ran of Mozilla looked pretty good. Netsacpe's developers are great fans of Linux. If they didn't have to code another line of code for Win32, I don't think it would break anybody's heart over there. Remember, the guys at Netscape are the real pioneers in making HTTP a viable media. They invented LDAP, JavaScript, SSL, and lots of other good stuff. They also contributed to Java's Swing. The reason IS has taken over the market is because Bill dumped the product on the market with the stated intent to "Cut of [Netscape's] air supply". The Netscape folks have made many of their products opened, at leas to the point where you can read the code. Even if you can transcribe the code and GPL it, you can still learn how it works, and if you can figure out a similar, yet distinct way of doing the same thing, then you can GPL that. I have worked with Netscape inc. for almost as long as they have been public. They are good folks, and are willing to share. If you don't like the browser you have, www.mozilla.org, make one you like! Steve richard fern wrote:
