Thanks for the link, very instructive. That would mean (in the context of Debian) that one would have to (a) use the Basilisk-bundled libs (generally a no-no in Debian) or (b) use a different name & brand. Yes, we know this story with Firefox/Iceweasel. That'd mean that the packaging effort would be a bit... more interesting. I think both sides have their point, and the sad part for me is that they didn't manage to tackle the conflict in a more civil manner. Perhaps a lesson in humility for us all. > Does Debian project really needs yet another Iceweasel incident? What the world needs (badly) is more browser alternatives. I'm seeing everything converging towards the dystopia where one huge corporation controls the server and the client. We had that, and it wasn't pretty; nowadays with smartphones, always-on, IoT and perhaps worse, we are far more vulnerable to that (business?) model. Cheers -- t
