"Here’s How Mozilla Thunderbird Is Making a Comeback in 2022" https://www.howtogeek.com/805530/heres-how-mozilla-thunderbird-is-making-a-comeback-in-2022/
@thunderbird thunderbird never went away baby. its always been great.
kind of wondering about the for-profit reorganization though. what will the monetization model be?
@wagesj45
@thunderbird
That's a good quesrion
@JuleLe @wagesj45 To be very clear, we have no plans for monetizing Thunderbird except through donations.

There's no for-profit reorganization. Recently a for-profit company was created to contain Thunderbird (which is called MZLA). That's because housing it in Mozilla Foundation is impractical.
General open-source software development is NOT a charitable purpose in the US, so a 503(c) is limited in how much money it can spend on that.
@thunderbird @JuleLe
thanks for explaining. that makes sense. hopefully i didnt come off all
on you. was just a structure i wasnt familiar with.
keep up the good work!
@thunderbird looking forward to things to come!
