Jamie Zawinski - Jamie Zawinski Jamie Zawinski, commonly known as jwz, is a computer programmer, responsible for significant contributions to the free software projects Mozilla and XEmacs, as well as early versions of the commercial Netscape Navigator. He became quite well known in the early days of the world wide web through two easter eggs in the Netscape browser: typing "about:jwz" into the address box would take you to his home page (a similar trick worked for other Netscape staffers), and if you were running a Unix version of the browser, the Netscape logo "throbber" would change to a ship's compass when a page was loading. Zawinski was a major proponent of opening the source code of the Mozilla browser, but became disillusioned with the project and resigned from.
Free Software Song - free software from the Free Software Foundation. It has been cited by Jamie Zawinski as a reason why co-operation with Richard Stallman (the singer, better known in his role as president of the Free Software Foundation) is impossible.

Emacs - Not EMACS) and ZWEI (ZWEI Was EINE Initially) by Michael McMahon and Daniel Weinreb. In 1978, Bernard Greenberg wrote Multics Emacs at Honeywell's Cambridge Information Systems Lab. This editor was written in MacLisp, a dialect of the Lisp programming language. User-supplied extensions were also written in Lisp. The choice of Lisp provided more extensibility than ever before, and has been followed by most subsequent emacsen. Gosling Emacs, the first Emacs-like editor to run on Unix, was written by James Gosling in 1981. It was written in C and used a stripped-down version of Lisp, known as Mocklisp, as an extension language. In 1984, Stallman began writing a new emacs implementation, GNU Emacs, which became the first program in the nascent GNU project. GNU Emacs was written in C and used Emacs.
XEmacs - the copyright of much XEmacs code is owned by the Free Software Foundation), so code could in principle be freely exchanged between the two projects. However, the Emacs project has a policy of including only contributions whose copyright has been assigned to the FSF, for the purpose of copyleft enforcement. This is not always possible with XEmacs code. There is significant rivalry between the two camps, which is why new features in either editor usually show up in the other sooner or later. On the other hand, many developers contribute to both projects; in particular, many major lisp subsystems, such as Gnus and Dired, are developed to work with both. Project Status XEmacs development happens on three branches: stable, gamma, and beta, with beta being the first to get new features,.
XScreenSaver - Unix-like operating systems running the X Window System. It is maintained by Jamie Zawinski. Open source Unix-like systems such as Linux use it almost universally.
