From the press release:
SAN DIEGO — October 11, 2006 — QUALCOMM Incorporated (Nasdaq:

Mozilla Foundation, a public-benefit organization dedicated to
promoting choice and innovation on the Internet, today announced
that future versions of Eudora® will be based upon the same
technology platform as the open source Mozilla Thunderbird™ email
program. Future versions of Eudora will be free and open source,
while retaining Eudora's uniquely rich feature set and
productivity enhancements. QUALCOMM and Mozilla will each

Thunderbird. QUALCOMM also today announced that it has released

QUALCOMM will continue commercial sales, at a reduced price of

technical support commitments will be honored in their entirety.
