Is netscape binray-all?  The bios does not need to be recompiled, does
not need to be changed and if ever someone wants to work on it hes
certainly going to write a new one.

I realy don't care about the bios since its only needed for dos /
windows and to setup the initial text mode for linux (unless one
circumvents that by booting directly into the 32 Bit mode). The bios
can go to non-free, but that still needs a small license change.
