Netscape's adoption of the open-source model, said Raymond, is "absolutely historically important. This is THE break that the open-source culture has been waiting for for 20 years." Judging from the reception Netscape 5.0 has gotten, the battle between Netscape and Microsoft for the soul of the Net -- the battle between Microsoft and every independent-minded developer everywhere -- is far from over...
