This is an interesting discussion, and I did want to address some additional comments...
Actually, the restrictions they have are on the use of the official branding. They are saying you have to build it a specific way if you want to use their official branding, and they have very specific requirements to get permission to use official branding that I've managed to comply with thus far. However, if you were to use alternative branding like IceWeasel-UXP does: https://wiki.hyperbola.info/doku.php?id=en:project:iceweasel-uxp Then you don't have to follow those requirements. I assumed since you weren't interested in Pale Moon, you weren't interested in anything like this at all, but I heard someone talk about issues with Rust and then someone else mention IceWeasel which reminded me there was an alternative. The big advantages of the UXP platform are that it supports more modern websites than older Firefox does, doesn't have Rust or telemetry, and still supports XUL extensions and NPAPI plugins. The irony of all this is, the reason Pale Moon has the branding restrictions is because they haven't tested any system libraries other than their own internal ones, they don't want to provide support for custom builds, and they're worried about their browser getting a bad reputation for being buggy due to being built in an unsupported configuration. But now their browser apparently has a bad reputation because of their licensing restrictions. _______________________________________________ oi-dev mailing list [email protected] https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/oi-dev
