OK, it's fine to start modifying Mozilla. The question is more one of
exactly what Netscape will allow you to do under the terms of their source
code license agreement document. Remember, this version also doesn't have
SSL in it because of US Export restrictions, so people like DSTC in
Australia (think I got the letters in the right order) have had to re-do it
with non-US sourced SSL encryption code. I would think SSL is a necessity
if you want to offer it to serious ISP users (especially net-shopper types).

It's also a question as to what other "bits" Netscape have left out, that
might still be in the "regular" version of Navigator / Communicator.

Just my $0.02 worth
