the GPL does not actually require the sources to be published - they
just need to be offered and available to anyone who wants them by some
means that are not more demanding than how the binaries were acquired -
if the binaries are published on a website, than publishing the sources
on that same website is a very good way to make sure that happens
in this case though, i think the gnuzilla repo only contains build
scripts - assuming that no parts of the gnuzilla repo becomes the
browser itself, then the gnuzilla license probably does not apply to
the mozilla sources - if you did not also publish a pre-compiled binary,
you could probably stop at that
i dont think the mozilla license requires sources to be offered; but
the bigger concern with what your want to do is whatever is in the
non-free software that is used to compile it - most likely some parts
of that do become part of the browser - even if you did want to publish
the complete sources, you can not, because you dont have them all
also, notabug is intended for freely-licensed software only - the
pre-compiled binary probably does not meet that criteria; which is
the very reason why GNU does not publish them - i would write to the
notabug admin asking for a special permission in this case
