SeaMonkey used to be the codename for "the organized effort to ship the
first commercial releases of browser and e-mail and page composer
clients from the mozilla source code baseline." That was an interesting
description, since mozilla.org doesn't do commercial releases. Now the
wording has been changed to "the organized effort to ship the first
releases of browser, e-mail and page composer clients from the Mozilla
source code."
The actual meaning of the codename is ambiguous but the name isn't
limited to the Windows version alone. The main CVS module is named
SeaMonkeyAll even though it contains more than strictly the components
mentioned above. I have don't know which "first releases" are considered
to be covered by the codename.
