Mozilla is a free-software community, created in 1998 by members of Netscape. The Mozilla community uses, develops, spreads and supports Mozilla products, thereby promoting exclusively free software and open standards, with only minor exceptions.〔For exceptions, see "Values" section below〕 The community is supported institutionally by the Mozilla Foundation and its tax-paying subsidiary, the Mozilla Corporation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About the Mozilla Corporation )〕 Mozilla produces many products such as the Firefox web browser, Thunderbird e-mail client, Firefox Mobile web browser, Firefox OS mobile operating system, Bugzilla bug tracking system and other projects. ==History== On February 23, 1998, Netscape created a project called Mozilla (after the original code name of the Netscape Navigator browser which is a blending of "Mosaic and Godzilla") to co-ordinate the development of the Mozilla Application Suite, the open source version of Netscape's internet software, Netscape Communicator.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Netscape Announces mozilla.org, a Dedicated Team and Web Site Supporting Development of Free Client Source Code )〕 Jamie Zawinski says he came up with the name "Mozilla" at a Netscape staff meeting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=How was Mozilla born )〕 A small group of Netscape employees were tasked with coordination of the new community. Originally, Mozilla aimed to be a technology provider for companies, such as Netscape, who would commercialize their open source code. When AOL (Netscape's parent company) greatly reduced its involvement with Mozilla in July 2003, the Mozilla Foundation was designated the legal steward of the project.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/press/mozilla-foundation.html )〕 Soon after, Mozilla deprecated the Mozilla Suite in favor of creating independent applications for each function, primarily the Firefox web browser and the Thunderbird email client, and moved to supply them directly to the public. Recently, Mozilla's activities have expanded to include Firefox on mobile platforms (primarily Android),〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://allthingsd.com/20120816/better-browsing-on-your-android-smartphone/ )〕 a mobile OS called Firefox OS,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2407468,00.asp )〕 a web-based identity system called Mozilla Persona and a marketplace for HTML5 applications.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/12/mozilla-marketplace-live-web-apps-like-desktop/ )〕 In a report released in November 2012, Mozilla reported that their total revenue for 2011 was $163 million, which was up 33% from $123 million in 2010. Mozilla noted that roughly 85% of their revenue comes from their contract with Google. At the end of 2013, Mozilla announced a deal with Cisco Systems whereby Firefox would download and use a Cisco-provided binary build of an open source〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=cisco/openh264 · GitHub )〕 codec to play the proprietary H.264 video format.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Mozilla will add H.264 to Firefox as Cisco makes eleventh-hour push for WebRTC’s future — 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mozilla」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
