There has been a bunch of talk recently about IceCat on F-Droid IRC
(irc://irc.freenode.net/fdroid) We'd love to have IceCat included,
since Firefox on Android includes binary blobs (Google Play Services).
Matías has made some progress (I cc'ed him, I don't know if he's on this
list).
Matías, maybe you could subscribe to this list, and we can all
coordinate getting IceCat into F-Droid:

Or perhaps the f-droid forum is a better place:

I'd really like to see IceCat Android binaries being built from 100%
source (i.e. free jars are OK, but not binary blob, unfree jars). With
F-Droid, we're working on making reproducible builds a lot easier. So
that you'd post your official release, then F-Droid would build and
verify that the builds match before including it.

Is the source code easy enough to reuse for an Android variant?

From what I can tell they just disable the test suit and the crash
reporter. Other than that it is the standard Mozilla Fennec.
But it is surprising that you mention this, since I managed to build
IceCat for Android yesterday. That, and more surprises, coming soon.
