The second to last paragraph of this article has a bit of info about the
Netscape - Mozilla relationship.
As to licenses, we expect use of the NPL to go down over time, and
more of the codebase to be MPL.

I've been following the Mozilla project almost since its inception, and I have
followed it excitedly, though admittedly I am not a contributor to the project.
That said, I did look over the FAQs available to see if my question was answered
elsewhere, though I could not find an answer for it, thus this message.
Having read the licenses available for various parts of the Netscape
and Mozzila code base, and the other documents available which discuss the
project
and its licensing choices and selections, I am left with the impression that there are two different products in the works, one with the mozilla.org code base, and the other with the netscape.com code base. The mozilla web site
indicates that some features will only be available on one browser or the other. First of all, did I read the available material correctly, and secondly (if I did read it correctly), will the code eventually be merged to support the features of both code bases (presumably under a Netscape commericial license of some sort in order to protect the intellectual
property and contractual obligations and export restrictions as outlined in the FAQ for why various other licensing choices were rejected)?
