Цитата:| Да ладно с нуля? Mozilla разве не основан на коде Netscape? Кажется, весь этот проект начался с того, что Netscape, потерпев поражение в войне с MS, начала раздавать код браузера всем желающим. |
Цитата: Mozilla and Netscape may seem identical, but they are very different:
Even though it was started by Netscape, and Netscape employees make up a significant portion of its developers, mozilla.org is the independent and nonprofit organization to oversee the open source development of the Mozilla browser and its related technologies. mozilla.org's products are free for any company, organization, or individual, to use. They are free to create their own branded products based on mozilla.org's goods. mozilla.org's products are all open source and are meant for developers and testers, not the average computer user.
Also keep in mind that mozilla.org recieves contributions from such large corporations such as IBM and Sun Microsystems, and countless small firms and volunteers.
Netscape Communications is a commercial company, and they make commercial products for regular computer users and businesses.
This is where the distinction between Mozilla and Netscape seems to blur to some people:
In order for Netscape to make Netscape 6 they have to use mozilla.org's work. This involves getting that code from mozilla.org, adding modifications and non-open source parts such as plug-ins, branding it with the appropriate logos and copyrights, testing and stabilizing it, and then release it for download. In other words, Netscape 6 is based on Mozilla, but Netscape 6 is not Mozilla, and Mozilla is not Netscape 6. |
