   Actually, Mozilla was the code name for the Netscape suite, from pre   
   NS6/7 days. When Netscape started funding the Open Source Mozilla   
   organization, they called the product, which was considered only for   
   testing, Mozilla, and developed the code name SeaMonkey for the project.   
      
   WHen Netscape dropped development after the release of 7.1, Mozilla (the   
   suite) became an end user product, and retained the old Netscape codename.   
      
   When Mozilla stopped development of the suite, and it was picked up by   
   an independent council, they chose to go with SeaMonkey as the product   
   name, and became the SeaMonkey Council. Thus the SeaMonkey Suite as we   
   know it today.
