With the exception of a few minor parts, it is no longer distributed
under the Netscape Public License.

Actually the "U" stands for "USA" and means "strong encryption". This is
as opposed to "N" for no security and "I" for weak security (stands for
"International" -- back when the US had ridiculous restrictions on the
exporting of cryptographic technology, Netscape had different levels of
cryptographic strength for the USA and International markets).

Chimera is now called Camino (due to trademark issues).

It means the build has support for ActiveX (although in practice it just
means the build supports Windows Media Player).
