Mozilla exec claims Apple is hunting open source

According to Mozilla COO John Lilly Apple, Steve Jobs expects to do more than lure Internet Explorer users to Apple's upcoming Safari browser for Windows - he envisions a duopoly within the browser market at the expense of FireFox and others.

Lilly pointed to a pie graph representing the browser market that Jobs showed at last week's Apple developers' conference in San Francisco. The graph was made up with just two browsers: Safari and Internet Explorer.

Lilly, stated that Job's thinking was outdated, in part because the web "belonged to people and not companies."

"It doesn't give much credit to the large and growing number of other quality browsers that are on the scene today, and certainly doesn't give any sophisticated understanding of the situation outside the US, where things vary more," he said.
