I've dug up a few other reports, and there was a segment on NPR this morning
about it; seems rather obvious that the Netscape division is on borrowed time.
I'd be surprised to see it survive past the end of the year.
I think the Mozilla project has enough momentum to survive without them, and
IBM has provided alot of technology to Mozilla so I wouldn't be surprised if
they took up the sponsorship.
But the name might have to change, doesn't AOL/TM hold the trademark for
"Mozilla"? or does the MPL (Mozilla Public License) include the name?
