Andy Baio of Waxy.org and Upcoming.org fame has recently published a heavily-annoted version of the 2000 documentary Code Rush which if you haven’t seen it, details the process of (then) Netscape open sourcing the code behind the Mozilla project all those years ago. This was initially posted some time ago but at the request of the director, was taken offline until recently where has now been released under the Creative Commons license.
It’s wild to watch this today and at the same look up and realize that you are (possibly) viewing it in the Firefox browser which was quite literally was born out of the labors portrayed in this movie. Andy also mentions that they’ve just posted some previously unreleased footage at Archive.org.
