Re: [Bug-gnuzilla] Building Icecat 60.3.0 on macOS Mojave 10.14.1

[Johannes Marbach]

Thanks Bill, I see how this is not a good fit from an ethical point of 
view now. :/

In an attempt to make things easier for other people like me (GNU 
enthusiasts who have to use a Mac for certain parts of their life) I 
collected my patches together with a super simple build script here: 
https://notabug.org/h3nn3s/icecat-mac

I still need to add some of the steps I shared about setting up the 
environment to the README though.

Noob question: If add the final dmg to the repo, the license of IceCat / 
Firefox requires me to also host the original sources there, right?
