Good question, the MPL really hasn't served Thunderbird very well,
with Postbox being the prime example, resulting in zero win for
the base project. This would not be possible with GPL.

You could also consider a dual licensing of GPL + commercial
licensing for proprietary software. (Like MySQL, Stanford CoreNLP
etc.)

Why did R Kent James demand <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/cardbook/">CardBook</a>
be licensed under MPL then? Zero win for CardBook...<br>
<br>
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://www.libreoffice.org/">LibreOffice</a>
seems to be working, why not copy their licensing model? Or even
join <a moz-do-not-send="true"
