One for the former heads of Netscape Communcations added a lot of $$$ to AmiZilla and requested it be based on Mozilla or FireFox.
Does this mean a newly developed browser (one unrelated to any existing browsers in on any other platform) couldn't win the contest?
This seems a bit unfair, because some people gave money for any browser with the equivalent functionality of Mozilla, not necessarily Mozilla. It was implied at the time that this is the aim of the project - a modern standards-compliant browser for Amigaish systems.
