+The goal of the IceCat project is to provide a completely free version
+of the popular mozilla source code.  It is part of Gnuzilla, the
+umbrella project analogous to Mozilla.  The base Mozilla code is free
+but it supports and suggests using non-free plugins and other modules.
+GNU IceCat is completely free, and suggests only free plugins to
+users. If you aren't aware of the rationale and goals of the Free
+Software Movement, please take a look at this page:
+http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/

+
+BUILD FROM TARBALL
+==================
+From the released IceCat source tarball, you can build in the
+standard way:
+./configure && make
+
+Be sure you have installed the needed libraries.  If you want to tune
+the configuration process you can change the default setup using the
+file .mozconfig.
+
+The default configuration of IceCat uses the following libraries:
+libpango libpangoxft libpangoft2 libfreetype libxft libgtk2 libx11
+
+Refer to your distro help as needed if the configure script fails to
+find them.
+
+INSTALL
+=======
+When you have it built you can install it with:
+make install
+
+If you want to install in a staging directory, you can do this:
+make install DESTDIR=/foo/bar
+
+LICENSING
+=========
+Because we hope and want our privacy enhancements to be picked up by
+Mozilla itself, we are keeping the same tri-licensing scheme for
+Gnuzilla/IceCat as Mozilla uses: MPL/GPL/LGPL.
+
+EXTENSIONS INCLUDED IN ICECAT 31.0
