I think another fact is the NPL/MPL arrangement, in which Netscape gets to eat their cake and have it too. You submit your patches to them, and they get to turn around, modify them, close the source, and sell them with no compensation to you. For people used to working under the GPL, this is not a heartening state of affairs. -- G.
