The name, logo and mascot
The Hominis name, the pinwheel logo in all its monthly colours, and the marten mascot are brand assets of Noduz e.U.. They are not covered by the EUPL. You may redistribute them only as part of an unmodified official Hominis build, and use them in your own unmodified build for personal or internal use. If you publish a modified version, give it your own name and artwork; the source includes a neutral branding set for exactly that. Terms and rights has the details.
Building Hominis
Hominis is developed as a set of patches on top of a pinned Firefox source release (Firefox 153 ESR). The repository’s build guide explains how to fetch that release, apply the patches and build on a Mac.
