    Few know how things are structured. Or more importantly, how it could be restructured later.

      These articles purport to be written by journalists though. Fact checking is meant to be a staple of the job description.

        Just for argument’s sake, it’s easier to change the behavior of one mismanaged foundation than the broken news cycles

          Thunderbird is not a Mozilla project. It is independent of Mozilla including it’s financing and has been for several years now.

          My understanding is MZLA was set up so Thunderbird could accept donations and manage it’s own finances independently of Mozilla. There have been no allegations anywhere that MZLA has been mismanaged.

            few people know that or will understand it; it’s been tarnished by the foundation.

            If I were managing thunderbird, I would do a rebrand because I am not the first or last person to make that mistake ; there are tens of millions of me

              The journalists who published these articles had an opportunity to educate their readers by not spreading misinformation and by not misrepresenting Thunderbird’s relationship to Mozilla.

              The issue here isn’t the disdain anyone has for Mozilla (although that might be yours). The issue is the misrepresentation of Thunderbird as a Mozilla project by news media.

                I am influenced by both and control none, bobbing along the waves of misinformation and mismanagement like a cork in the ocean .
