How, pray tell, do you plan to rewrite Netscape 4, without violating the
Netscape 4 copyright?

Or are you claiming that Netscape 4 is not a ``component'' of OpenBSD?
It has been provided for years as a port. It has even been provided as a
package on several of the CD-ROMs. Why haven't you been objecting to it?

Hypocrite.
