Netscape Enterprise Server最初是网景公司于90年代开发的web server，后被Sun收购后改名为Sun Java System Web Server，现在Sun正式宣布Netscape Enterprise Server采用BSD许可证开源。在将近20年后，Apache原来的竞争对手也采用开源许可证让任何人都可自由使用。

I'm happy to announce that our Web Server product (about which I'vebeen writing here for a few years now) is now open sourced andavailable as part of the OpenSolaris Web Stack community!
Well, technically it is not exactly the Web Server product,since the open sourced code does not include some of the value-addcomponents such as the administration framework. But it is the realdeal, the massively scalable web server core which is used in the JESWeb Server 7.0 product is now all open source!
This marks another milestone in the very long history of thisweb server. Back in the 90's this was the Netscape Enterprise Server,which later morphed into the iPlanet Web Server during the Sun|NetscapeAlliance. After some years it was renamed the SunONE Web Server andmost recently renamed again to the JES Web Server (Sun just like tokeep you confused, thus the constant renaming of the product!)
The code is placed under BSD license, this should allow for good cross pollination with other web tier projects.
Enjoy!
Source code is available via:
% hg clone ssh://anon@hg.opensolaris.org/hg/webstack/webserver
Build instructions are here:http://wikis.sun.com/display/wsFOSS/Build+Instructions
(The code itself is highly portable as you can see based on thesupported platforms of the commercial product. Building on otherplatforms is a bit more involved due to dependencies so the buildinstructions only cover the more flexible platforms.)
