So... I still don't get it - what is different in Icecat - except from the minor tweaks. Debian removed all Non-Free content, and the complete project ist tri-licensed (GPL/LGPL/MPL). Could you maybe explain the situation a little bit deeper. And I still don't get why gNewSense does uses thier own rebranded version and not IceCat. >> > I understand, that the GnuZilla Project has made some minor tweaks to the >> > original Firefox, but is that the only reason for having a different >> > project? > > Unrelated. I am new to this NG, so I am not familiar with the tone here - but at the moment I am thinking if this will be my last post in this group. Do you really think, that it is polite to answer to a serious question with one word, without further explanation. Maybe, if you do not want to communicate, you should not post in a newsgroup?
