I think the fact that they are actually trying it out is fairly amazing
considering that they would be no worse off by simply keeping it to
themselves. A company's primary objective is not to hire people and pay
them large sums of money to write software which the company then gives
away. It is to make a profit. Considering what a market failure Mozilla is
(and to anyone who doesn't think so, review its market share over the
past two years), it's rather surprising to me that another company would
try opening sourcing their projects.
Besides, what do you mean by "free software"? How do you distinguish
between it and open source?
