> Thunderbird is revenue positive

Is that why I'm met with a splash screen asking me to donate every time I start Thunderbird? Is this another Wikipedia situation?



I think that wasn't phrased well- it's "revenue" positive meaning donation money covers more than the expenses


That’s literally what the phrase means. Can’t help if people don’t know what words mean. It was phrased fine, it wasn’t _read_ well.


Fair point :)


You think that just because the software can be downloaded for free means the developers shouldn't get paid for their work?
