> My edit in brackets) You meant towards improving Nylas Mail, not Thunderbird? No. What I wrote is what I meant. > it sounds like Nylas was reaching out Mozilla to replace Thunderbird with their re-licensed Nylas Mail Yes. (But not "replace", necessarily. Replace parts. Merge. Improve.) > I'm not sure that ever happened Uh, okay? If you hadn't heard that before, that's... fine. But, I mean, now you have. And I don't know what else to say. > I'm not sure GPL is a totally suitable license for Mozilla Foundation You're right; it's not. Thunderbird is MPL. They can't accept GPL contributions and continue to make releases available under MPL. That's why I specifically mentioned how Nylas relicensed their code to one that is compatible (MIT). > I'm fully agree that upstream Thunderbird could clearly indicate their will to move off Gecko I didn't say move off Gecko. I said dropping XUL. Moving off Gecko is almost definitely not in plans for the short term, and probably not even in the long term. This conversation has been excruciating.
