Zeldman: AOL Kills Netscape.

mozillaZine: AOL Cuts Remaining Mozilla Hackers.

Daniel Glazman:

Netscape hired me three years ago, AOL laid me off today (technically, having a french contract of employment, I am still employed; we don't throw away people in ten seconds here. We take thirty seconds, that's cleaner). AOL axed Netscape by the same time. People, it's over. Netscape is dead. Nothing to see here.

The Netscape servers division was dissolved into Sun a few years ago. Now that the client part is dead, there is nothing left from Netscape. Sad story indeed. Netscape est mort, vive Mozilla!
