In March 1998, Netscape Communications decided that the Communicator product (including the Navigator Browser) would be available free of charge, and that the source code would also be available free of charge. The idea behind this decision is to encourage the public to take part in the development of Navigator (which has the nickname of Mozilla). Hopefully, this will result in more functionality and availability for more platforms than could be provided by Netscape Communications alone. The Mozilla organization is hosted by Netscape Communications and tries to coordinate the efforts by managing the source code and maintaining a list of what should be implemented in the future.
