You full-quoting bone head.

I've refered to the same pr in my previous posts, and I never disputed
that Netscape always intended to charge _SOME_ entities for Navigator.

You didn't have to do crazy searches for Netscape PR's.

They're all here:

http://wp.netscape.com/newsref/pr/newsrelease3.html

See the "3" in the above URL?  Just change it to any number you want
if you want to see all of their dozens of PR's.

My point is that Netscape said in their very first press release in
October 1994 that their intention was to make Navigator *FREELY
AVAILABLE* to EVERYONE for non-cor****ate, non-business use.

EVERYONE means home users, students, educators, researchers,
non-profit organizations, etc.  It *might* even mean public
institutions like federal, state, and municiple gov't as well as
military and hospital use (but that is an unrelated tangent).

Do you disagree that Netscape said that in their first press release?

Do you disagree that Netscape intended that home users were allowed to
freely obtain and use Navigator (not just "evaluate" it) and that such
obtainment and use was not time-limited nor limited to beta versions
nor limited to the first full release version of Navigator?
