CNET News.com: Open source Mozilla browser headed to market

“After a bumpy first year, Mozilla.org will finally see a
product based on its work come to market–and it’s not America
Online’s.”

“Customizable browser maker NeoPlanet tomorrow will demonstrate
consumer-focused software built around Mozilla’s “Gecko” rendering
engine.”

“While only a technology preview, it will be downloadable from
the NeoPlanet Web site. And the shipping version, due in May, will
beat AOL’s own version of Communicator, which is due in beta by
July and in a final version by year’s end.”

“Not only will NeoPlanet release a product based on Mozilla’s
code, but it will assign four full-time employees to work on the
open source project. Its first contribution will be an ActiveX
wrapper for Mozilla, which will enable the browser to run ActiveX
controls.”
