Mosaic Name Changes
Mosaic Name Changes — While I’m cleaning up administrative details, it’s worth noting that Mosaic Communications Corporation has changed its name to Netscape Communications Corporation and the name of its excellent Web browser from Mosaic Netscape to Netscape. The reason? Netscape Communications said it wants to establish an identity separate from NCSA’s Mosaic Web browser. In addition, the name change addresses trademark concerns raised by NCSA (perhaps due in part to NCSA’s agreements with Spyglass for licensing Mosaic and with O’Reilly & Associates for the popular What’s New page).
