The Future of Netscape Source

Tracy Reed writes "Netscape's decision to support free software by making Netscape free and releasing the source was apparently heavily influenced by a paper written by Eric S Raymond titled The Cathedral and the Bazaar. He is going to Netscape's headquarters to meet with top people in Netscape and the industry to help them define their freeware strategy. They realize that the freeware approach is the only way to topple Microsoft's stranglehold on the industry." Guys like Raymond really go this rolling, now let's hope that he can help make it work.
