Here's an idea: a source package that builds either Thunderbird for Debian or Lightningferret, a trademark-free version -- and defaults to the latter, except on Debian autobuilders. The real source to build the Thunderbird for Debian version is there, and it's a trivial switch. But the work of producing a free-to-suck version is already done. For reasons I can't fully articulate, I don't think that's a good idea: source packages should be the plain and simple source of the binaries produced. But I'm curious whether it would be accepted as Free by debian-legal. -Brian -- Brian Sniffen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
