Isn’t thunderbird still part of Mozilla? It says it still is on their site.

  > Thunderbird operates in a for-profit subsidiary of the non-profit Mozilla Foundation. I guess the answer is yes.

  Nominally yes, and insofar as the Mozilla Foundation is "Mozilla". Even then, the relationship is ceremonial. And Mozilla Corp is something different altogether.

    If it walks like a duck and talks like a duck, odds are it’s a duck.

          These are not good comments.

            To me, they were clear, informative, and amusingly expressed. But then I am a native speaker and a Brit and these are abbreviations of familiar expressions.

  Not really, no, it is not. T'bird is owned and run by a for-profit company called MZLA. That company is owned by the non-profit Mozilla Foundation but Mozilla does not own, run, operate, or control Thunderbird. Comparison: Pret a Manger, the fancy sandwich chain, is part-owned by Mcdonald's. But you can't buy a Big Mac in Pret, and you can't buy a Pret fancy noodle salad in McDonald's.
