As a slight quibble, official release Netscape client products are free for
educational and non-profit users.  Netscape servers as also free for
educational and non-profit organizations.  From the license on my copy of
Navigator 3.01:
Netscape grants you a non-exclusive license to use the Software free
of charge if (a) you are a student, faculty member or staff member of
an educational institution (K-12, junior college, college or library),
a staff member of a religious organization, or an employee of an
organization which meets Netscape's criteria for a charitable
non-profit organization; or (b) your use of the Software is for the
purpose of evaluating whether to purchase an ongoing license to the
Software. The evaluation period for use by or on behalf of a
commercial entity is limited to 90 days; evaluation use by others is
not subject to this 90 day limit. Government agencies (other than
public libraries) are not considered educational, religious, or
charitable non-profit organizations for purposes of this Agreement. If
you are using the Software free of charge, you are not entitled to
hard-copy documentation, support or telephone assistance. If you fit
within the description above, you may use the Software in the manner
described in Part III below under "Scope of Grant."
