lol, what a shitshow. A product from the same company is distancing from the stench. Good on them, but it shows who did some things wrong.
It's a different piece of software. It makes no sense for them to adopt the Firefox Terms of Use, no matter how they might think of them.
MZLA is a different subsidiary of the Mozilla Foundation.
If I remember correctly, Thunderbird isn't a Mozilla product anymore but it's maintained by the community. Mozilla just hosts it.
It was community maintained, then MZLA Corp was formed under the Mozilla Foundation. Deals to house Thunderbird under other foundations fell through, which is why it’s still under the Mozilla Foundation.
