So, can anyone translate this...
How does Qualcomm change the code base (to
Mozilla) yet keep all the Eudora features ? They
were already one year late on their Eudora 7 (for
the Mac) and delayed it again to make it work
with Tiger. How will Qualcomm switch to Mozilla
*and* keep the Eudora features *and* release code
in a reasonable time frame *and* have it work
with Leopard ? (Unless they have already been
using the Mozilla code base for the past year.)
Anyone know ?

From the press release:
SAN DIEGO - October 11, 2006 - QUALCOMM
Incorporated (Nasdaq: QCOM), a leading
developer and innovator of Code Division
Multiple Access (CDMA) and other advanced
wireless technologies, and the 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 participate in,
and continue to foster development communities
based around the open source Mozilla project,
with a view to enhancing the capabilities and
ease of use of both Eudora and Thunderbird.
QUALCOMM also today announced that it has
released the final commercial versions of the
current Eudora products for Windows and Mac
operating systems. The open source version of
Eudora is targeted to release during the first
half of calendar year 2007. Once the open
source version of Eudora is released, QUALCOMM
will cease to sell Eudora commercially. In the
interim, QUALCOMM will continue commercial
sales, at a reduced price of $19.95 and with a
six-month period of technical support.
Existing technical support commitments will be
honored in their entirety.
