Hey Justin,

>Fairly market a popular product to most (all?) available OS flavors.

There have been many software products that market to most (major) OS flavors. Regardless, you call that "innovative"? Perhaps we're looking for different things with the term, but I personally don't consider what Netscape did with Navigator on many OSes to be innovative.

>Open a commercially viable product to OSS.

I don't see the innovation in this. OSS was around long before Netscape opened their browser. And Linux was already commercially viable before this---but even it it weren't, Netscape was just incrementally extending on the OSS idea instead of doing something innovative, IMO.
