"Netscape didn’t contain any NCSA Mosaic code, but several key developers of NCSA Mosaic went to Netscape, where they used what they learned at NCSA to build a better browser. Internet Explorer started out as a somewhat customized version of Spyglass Mosaic, which was a direct descendant of NCSA Mosaic and contained some NCSA Mosaic code. Without Mosaic, we wouldn’t have have had the two leading browsers of the browser wars."
