I see you point about the license terms. I thought Mosaic was public domain by now. It statically links with libjpeg, libpng, libz, and libwww which are all GPL/LGPL'd if I'm not mistaken. I'm using it for the time being until Amaya or Mozilla is working and I thought other folks might have the same use for it.
