What's to stop someone ITP'ing* icecat? Get it in the repo, and go from

Then we'd have 2 packages with the same software,
So? glibc and eglibc? :-) (I was actually thinking that this situation
sounds rather similar to that...)
and then there's also the problem of xulrunner being locked down as
well (and that's a library used by a lot of stuff).
Why is xulrunner locked down? If it uses Mozilla trademarks, presumably
they can be removed (I'd guess they'd have to be to build icecat, so I
assume this is possible). If it needs to change, ITP/SFR an opened
version at the same time as icecat. If it can be used as-is, we could
start with icecat and wait for that to gain some traction, thus taking
on the stack on one part at a time. Maybe we get lucky and success of
icecat convinces the xulrunner maintainer to open things up.
