No, AFAIU Mozilla Firefox will not "implement DRM in their source". They will write an open-source wrapper around Adobe's CDM-thingie, which will end up as a optional plugin at the end user's side. This may still mean that more users move towards GNU IceCat though.

Providing binary packages for Ice Cat may of course be interesting anyway! /M -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus
