netscape is a course known for it's netscape navigator product

first commercial rows on the web so first of all first generation really use to get on the web

and successful for a while and then competition became quite stiff from microsoft the different way to compete would be by building a shared asset

such as netscape versus microsoft that netscape would gather contributions over volunteer and other commercial produ-- commercial partners and build a product that will be shared

and that good for people knew that to be open source you had to be real

he couldn't just say "oh we're open source love us"

you really had to manage it different way engine

so at the time there was six or seven or eight of us who are employed by netscape

who is now sold out our staff and another 100 or 150 employed by netscape as

netscape engineers build a netscape product and contributing their work

to the mozilla open source project so we are all in the same building

they all went to many in the same meetings but we had a slightly different calls

because although we call it the netscape product

netscape had been purchased by AOL already

and so the client itself was diminishing and importance and the important

netscape client to push traffic to the AOL
