I really hope this takes off well and provides some funding for the Thunderbird project too. Currently the only way to monetarily support Thunderbird is through donations (https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/donate/ ).
I doubt donations to MZLA Technologies Corporation will reach the Thunderbird project in any meaningful way.
They'll just use it to pay their executive salaries.
Absolutely bonkers.
I know people here don’t like Bryan Lunduke, but besides the opinions added, this is factual, sourced reporting.
No doubt though that the increase in executive salaries has been way beyond criticism as well.
Their finances seems a total mess and completely hijacked.
But it's a different company. EOM.
You are basing this statement on what data?
https://www.thunderbird.net/en-US/donate is managed by MZLA, it has one open source product, Thunderbird. We pay a required Thunderbird trademark fee to the Mozilla Foundation and little more than that, which is captured in https://stats.thunderbird.net/#financials.
