Midle-clicking on the "emacs-gnu" logo image at the first sreen of
GNU-emacs-21.3.1 to browse http://www.gnu.org as suggested by the
tooltip lauch by default the function browse-url-netscape which is by
default netscape.
Netscape in a non free program as you can see in the terms of the
licence agreement of the current version of netscape as can be
downloaded from their web site:
NETSCAPE 7.1 END-USER LICENSE AGREEMENT
Redistribution Or Rental Not Permitted
[...]
They are free high quality web browsers available such as mozilla,
konqueror, galeon, ... . Why is the default browser lauched by gnu emacs
a non free program?
Sincerely,
Olivier Esser

Thanks for the report, this has already been fixed in the current sources.

You are completely right, but I think we have fixed this already.
Please take a look at the sources in CVS on savannah.gnu.org.
