thunderbird, mozilla

I use Thunderbird and would like to support them. But I've never been sure about their relationship with Mozilla and hadn't bothered to figure it out.

They don't feature the info prominently, but it is at the bottom of their FAQ.

It's pretty clear that a donation to Thunderbird is a donation to Mozilla, which ain't happening! 😢

Screenshot of two sections from the Thunderbird FAQ:

1. How will my gift be used?

Thunderbird is the leading open source email and productivity app that is free for business and personal use. Your gift helps ensure it stays that way, and supports ongoing development.

2. What is Thunderbird’s relationship to MZLA Technologies Corporation?

MZLA Technologies Corporation is a wholly owned for-profit subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation and the home of Thunderbird.
