.and OpenOffice and Tux (as opposed to Freedo, the mascot of linux-libre.)

The additional problem with "Thunderbird" is that it's not free software since 
it's subject to Mozilla's trademark policy, which goes too far by requiring 
copies of "Thunderbird" (er; all Mozilla software) to be gratis:

Some of these can be fixed with simple patches but I wonder if Mozilla stuff 
like Firefox and Thunderbird should still be mentioned in their their "Working 
Together For Free Softare." [1]
