1. The browser is not public domain. "freely available" != public domain.
"copylefted" != "public domain". "open source" != "public domain".
2. It's not worthless simply because it is freely available in open
source form. If correctly leveraged and supported, it could easily
own the entire browser market. That's a big "if", however, and given
AOL's wretched management record, it's very unlikely.

AOL is *still* the ultimate luser company, by virtue of sheer numbers, but
unfortunately they are no longer the home of the 'net's stupidest users.
That honor now belongs to WebTV.

Unlikely. I've been called several times and have refused to even
bother with an interview. It'd be like climbing on board a sinking ship.
