Thunderbird spun out to a separate corporation

The Thunderbird email client has been movedinto a separate company called "MZLA Technologies Corporation", whichremains wholly owned by the Mozilla Foundation. "Moving to MZLA Technologies Corporation will not only allow the Thunderbird project more flexibility and agility, but will also allow us to explore offering our users products and services that were not possible under the Mozilla Foundation. The move will allow the project to collect revenue through partnerships and non-charitable donations, which in turn can be used to cover the costs of new products and services.Thunderbird's focus isn't going to change. We remain committed to creatingamazing, open source technology focused on open standards, user privacy,and productive communication."
