Netscape sources...
Of course, our mission should be to persuade them to use a Berkeley
license, instead of GPL...
Cheers,
Ben.

Amazing. Just five minutes ago I told a co-worker excitedly "Hey, we
could port it to gtk..." The others have been faster, it seems ;-)

Yeah, I'm not so sure that it would be a realistic thing to ask for. GPL
gives them more control over redistributions and derivatives, which I can
see from their perspective is very important.

I'm serious. Natch, this is small potatoes in comparison to the
momentous move NS are making, but it'll be the icing on the cake if they
get the license right.
Cheers,
Ben.

Please. Discussion about pros and cons of the various free licenses is
just what the "serious" business press (e.g, zd) needs to laugh about a
move that could mean a big change in the way software development is
undertaken.
(or was that meant as a joke?)

They said it will continue the heritage of the GPL or something like that.

Hmm... could've sworn they said they were, but I can't find the page
now...

They'll probably use the Microsoft version of the GPL: "We'll give you
source, but you can't give it to anyone else, and if you make any changes,
you *have* to send a copy back to us, for our free use."

They aren't using GPL so it is a moot point.
