And the project is named after the codename of Netscape's first product.
Yeah, THAT'S the way to show it's different. The purpose of Mozilla.org was
NOT to separate from Netscape, but to create a quality open source browser.

I don't think so much that, but it's more of ignoring our heritage, which is
exactly what got Netscape in trouble. "No, let's ignore this whole 'quality
product' thing and instead, let's make a great web portal! And 17,000
enterprise products! And let's go public! And we'll render Microsoft
useless! Browser? What browser?" Let's EMBRACE the heritage, and bring it
with us, and be proud of it.
Mozilla is us, and we are the green lizard.
