Much as I'd love to see some of the Netscape employees here comment on
what this means for the amount of resources NS/AOL/TW will put into
Mozilla, I'd be surprised if the answer would be anything other than "we
can't comment on this".
Netscape has been absolutely great about opening up its development
process, but they've understandably been anything but open about their
business plans - to the point that they haven't even confirmed that
their next release will be called 6.5 despite numerous references to
this number in bugzilla.
If we do get any information about this at all, it'll probably be in the
form of an official statement from mozilla.org, who are of course in
contact with the Netscape people and can probably craft a statement
which will address the community's concerns without revealing any
information that AOL/TW doesn't want known.
Having said all that, I'd love to be wrong and get some straight up
answers direct from NS people - even if they are "we can't comment".
And I hope that the mozilla.org folks are working on that statement,
because there does seem to be significant community concern about what
this might mean, and this will need to be addressed.
