Okay, "buried deep" may have been an overstatement, but at best Joe is going to read it once right at download time, determine that he is not obliged to pay for it at that time, and then put it away and never worry about it again. Even a gentle reminder thrown up at startup every week or so would have served as a reminder that payment is, well, appreciated (even if Netscape had no legal footing on which to demand it). That alone might have meant a few million extra in revenue right there. But no, Netscape didn't even encourage payment for upgrades.
