Perhaps it's time for you to go and read the Netscape Licence Agreement
again...  

The relevant part being :

"Netscape grants you a non-exclusive license to use the Software free
of charge if .... 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 or
charitable non-profit organizations for purposes of this Agreement."

Thus you can, technically, evaluate it for an unlimited time if you're
not a commercial entity, or 90 days if you are.

  Scott.
