<div class="gmail_extra">Just wanted to add that our first
minister Jean-Marc Ayrault has published a famous circular
related to free software where we find this recommendation
(page 17 of the document):<br>
<blockquote><i>A simple rule to be applied would be to
reinject systematically from 5 to 10 percent of the
avoided licensing costs. This allows one to contribute in
a useful way in all cases, to not put at risk the economic
gain of using Free Software, without systematically
performing a thorough study of comprehensive gain.<br>

how they could help Thunderbird and secure its development?
But it would require that we still have contacts there. Does
anybody know?<br>
