Would that be a requirement for any prospective addons for Thunderbird++ (or even 
future Thunderbird desktop addons)?

What implications would this have on monetisation?  most of my addons are GPL3 except 
for QuickFolders which I had to make "(CC BY-ND 4.0) Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0" 
because I had to protect the licensing schema on it. It is 100% open source (except 
for the license encryption key) and I don't mind people using parts of it but want to 
avoid complete clones being released as it would devalue the investment of anyone who 
bought a license (pro version only, 98% of the functionality is in the free version).

I had thought long and hard about that license choice, but maybe I am missing 
something here.
