<If new stuff comes in that's worth propagating, it will be a lot easier to get it widely implemented in different hardware environments under Nav than under IE.> Come on now Dan. The reason why NSCP has to give away source code is because they didn't pursue a truly modular design in the first place. Notice how IE is simply a bunch of objects which programmers can customize at will. I even have a browser integrated deeply within my valuation software. Large corporations don't want to dig through source code and they don't want their tech types wasting corporate resources doing it either. The componentized approach was the way to go. Honestly, I don't think NSCP had the resources to componentize thier browser the way MSFT did considering the pressure they were under.
