Thunderbird has the same trademark problem that Firefox has:
its trademark license limits verbatim redistribution, making
the program nonfree.

To make it free, one must change its name.  (Debian changes the name
to "IceDove" for this reason.)

There is a feature in the upstream sources to build with a different name,
so this should be easy.  Would people please do this in their distros?
