Actually, Netscape Navigator used to be a non-free product (around $50-$100
US IIRC) and supplied a significant amount of Netscape's revenue. At the
time of the IE/Netscape debacle Netscape could provide its browser at no
cost to compete with MS as, by that time, the majority of Netscape's revenue
came from server products. By the time Netscape won a pyrrhic victory over
MS, the writing was on the walland Netscape was eventually sold to AOL. The
IT industry is like astronomy...the brightest metors mostly only burn for a
short while.
