I'm not certain that's accurate.
There has been sniping back and forth between Daniel Glazman, principal author of Nvu, and the Kompozer team. Part of the issue is that Glazman has stopped development on Nvu, but I don't believe that was Linspire's doing.
The Mozilla roadmap is to break the Gecko rendering engine out as a stand-alone runtime called XULRunner, with things like Firefox, Thunderbird, and Nvu being simply instances of things XULRunner would render. There are already a few things out there going in that direction, like the Songbird cross-platform media player, currently in beta, and the ActiveState Komodo programmer's IDE, both of which are based on Mozilla code.
The last I knew, Glazman had shifted his efforts to development of an HTML editor that would be a pure XULRunner app.
That said, yes, Kompozer is also a good thing to look at. I've use both Kompozer and Nvu.
