Open sourceIn early 1998, Netscape announced that it would release the source code
of its next-generation browser as a part of its open source strategy. The
source code contains the programming elements that make up the Communicator
software application. It is not a compiled program and thus cannot be used
by traditional software end-users. Mozilla, as it is called, was released
as C++ source code and caused a flutter of excitement in part because of
its implementation of the World Wide Web Consortium's
standards, eXtensible markup language (XML), and the resource description Framework.
