Anyone have a url to netscape's licence? > http://home.netscape.com/download/license_text.html However, I am not sure that this has been updated yet... From their FAQ http://home.netscape.com/communicator/free_faq.html?cp=nws01flh1 Will Netscape make Netscape Communicator 5.0 source code freely available? Netscape has announced that Communicator Standard Edition 5.0 source code will be freely available for modification and redistribution. Netscape believes that harnessing the creative abilities of all Internet developers will be an unprecedented way to advance the features and quality of Communicator for all customers. Detailed license terms, additional information, and a developer version of Communicator Standard Edition 5.0 source code is scheduled to be available by March 31, 1998, on the Netscape Web site. and from http://home.netscape.com/newsref/pr/newsrelease558.html?cp=nws01flh1 Netscape plans to make Netscape Communicator 5.0 source code available for modification and redistribution beginning later this quarter with the first developer release of the product. The company will handle free source distribution with a license which allows source code modification and redistribution and provides for free availability of source code versions, building on the heritage of the GNU Public License (GPL), familiar to developers on the Net. Netscape intends to create a special Web site service where all interested parties can download the source code, post their enhancements, take part in newsgroup discussions, and obtain and share Communicator-related information with others in the Internet community. Netscape will also continue to develop new technologies and offer periodic certified, high-quality, supported releases of its Netscape Communicator and Navigator products, incorporating some of the best features created by this dynamic community. -Erik -- Erik B.
