They'll never give us source and last time I contacted them they wouldn't even do a FreeBSD binary. I guess we could get them to allow us to ship the BSDI binary in the suitable area of ports if we ask them nicely but that's not really what we want. Netscape recognises some much nicer features of an extended HTML. Look at my home page using Mosaic and Netscape and you'll find it looks much nicer with Netscape because my home page uses some Netscape specific features. It displays fine with Mosaic but it doesn't look as nice. -- Paul Richards, FreeBSD core team member.
