ncsa sued mosiac communications over their use of the name forcing mosaic
to become netscape. (thanks to simon for correcting my spelling of eric
bina's name). marc left ncsu after graduating and after his boss, joe
h(help simon), wanted to freeze browser development and focus instead on
servers. marc landed at eit, which also hired simon. then he left to found
mosaic with clark. in a famous raid on ncsa, marc returned to hire the
entire mosaic and http server team who became the core of netscape along
with several others (lou "lynx" moutilli (sp.) et al).
there were several other browsers out there but mosaic then netscape then
internet exploiter controlled extremely large shares of the market.
