Additional ideas:Section 1 About mozilla.org
Section empty, contribution welcome.
Links look like good choices. I think something along the lines of the following can go here:
mozilla.org was created by Netscape to manage the open source code that forms the basis for Netscape, Beonex, and other clients. It acts as a benevolent dictator in that it generally allows the community to flow in whatever direction individual interests dictate, but will step in to resolve disputes and get things to follow a single track.
1.1 What is mozilla.org?See above.Link to Free Software foundations's definition. Open source is essentially a movement where a company or person makes the instructions that cause a computer to do something available for other people to see, use, and/or modify. The exact allowances depend on the license used.1.2 What is open source?

The OSDN History section also provides links to the key documents including the various open development licenses.
- O'Reilly Open Source http://opensource.oreilly.com/

By the way, this was borrowed from the eclipse.org community page (http://www.eclipse.org/community/main.html). I'd imagine they wouldn't mind us sponging this bit of info, as their legal page seems to say that the content of their website is as open as the source (http://www.eclipse.org/legal/termsofuse.html).
