A PBS documentary following Netscape engineers during the high-pressure year they open-sourced the browser as Mozilla.
Code Rush, produced in 2000 and broadcast on PBS, is an inside look at living and working in Silicon Valley at the height of the dot-com era. The film follows a group of Netscape engineers as they pursue at that time a revolutionary venture to save their company - giving away the software recipe for Netscape's browser in exchange for integrating improvements created by outside software developers. The copyright to the film is now available under Creative common licence vers. 3 for interested viewers to download and use. In the future the original footage from which this film was made will be accessible under the same terms. Please visit : www.clickmovement.org/coderushWhat people say. Recommended as an excellent documentary showing the intense work culture and history of Netscape open-sourcing Mozilla.
