DuckDuckGo (Browser)

Any chance for the new DuckDuckGo browser becoming one of your portable apps? (It's now an open beta)

Some issues

Please be aware that DuckDuckGo's Mac and Windows browsers are freeware with no available license that I could find, and only their Android and iOS browsers are open source. This means unless you have permission from them you cannot bundle the browser in your package. You also should not be hosting the browser's files on Github because of this.

You are welcome to seek permission from DuckDuckGo to bundle it, or change your package to be an online installer.

Also be aware that they have trademarked both the name DuckDuckGo, and their logo. So unless you also get permission to use both the name and logo you also need to change them for your package.

I've removed your links until you get the issue sorted.

I'm getting that from 2 main sources

This page lists DuckDuckGo's open source software - the Windows & Mac clients are not listed.

Even if that was just an oversight on their part, their Github does not have repos for the desktop clients, only for the mobile ones.
