Code Rush

July 24 2009

The documentary film "Code Rush" has been released under a Creative Commons License. It is about the startup Netscape and their browser Netscape Navigator. From march 1998 to april 1999 a group of Netscape engineers were followed by the film crew. At that time Microsoft was rapidly taking away marketshare from Netscape. In order to save the company, Netscape decided to try a revolutionary and radical strategy giving away the sources of their browser. The code was gathered in the Mozilla project. Later in 2003 the Mozilla Foundation released its applications Firefox and Thunderbird very succesfully.
