No, they would do a total rewrite to fit their arcane rules. First of all it would force everybody to use a mediocore version control system (subversion), because that's the Apache Way. Then they would remove all dependencies on stuff that's not under the Apache license. I don't know how they are going to do that on Linux, because both gtk and qt are under the LGPL. Or maybe they would just drop Thunderbird for Linux? If the community has to take it over, just put it on github. No need to put in under a foundation that only adds bureaucratic procedures and hasn't catched up with this decade yet. Kind regards, Jeroen Dekkers -- users@sogo.nu https://inverse.ca/sogo/lists
