Does Mozilla have a historic releases download archive including Netscape 1.x+ builds?
I think when Mozilla was formed, it received all the assets of the former Netscape Communications corp, yes?
I tinker with some VMs running vintage OSes, including DOS+Win 3.1, and Linux distro releases from the 90's and early 2000's. I'd like to, for example install Netscape 1.x or 2.x on Win 3.1 and Debian Hamm 2.0.
I am wondering if Mozilla has a download archive somewhere with historic releases like Netscape 1.x through 4.x for all platform for which builds were originally released?

I don't see Netscape on the server under that name, but the Mozilla Suite was the open source version of the Netscape browser:
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think that Mozilla Suite probably corresponds to much later releases, like Netscape 9.x?
I doubt that would even run on Win 3.1 or Debian Hamm, due to library dependencies on libraries that didn't even exist in those OS releases. . . or in the case of Win 3.1, I would guess the last releases of Netscape might have required Win 9x or even Win XP?
I don't think that Mozilla inherited the old versions of Netscape Navigator; they were not made open source.
