Netscape was not selling their browser so that did not matter. I worked at a startup that used their server. We wanted to pay for it but they would not invoice us. Just sending money without an invoice would have been a donation. I sat for hours on their customer support line trying to get an invoice but they never sent one until they went out of business.
- kbrisso 5y agoI worked on Netscape Enterprise Server it had JavaScript as the scripting language. Did you work on that? Before NodeJS....
- unreal37 5y agoThey absolutely did sell their browser to enterprises. It was only free for personal use.
- colejohnson66 5y agoI think that’s what cloudwizard is saying. They knew that Netscape cost money for professional use, but in trying to get an invoice to actually pay for it, Netscape did nothing.
- unreal37 5y agoI worked at a company in 1994 that had 10,000 licenses to Netscape Navigator. I had a support person I could call. So on some scale, there was definitely a way to send them money.
