Mozilla & Gecko clones Qualcomm on Wednesday joined up with the Mozilla Foundation to announce it is transitioning Eudora into an open source e-mail client that will be based upon Thunderbird. In turn, all future versions of Eudora will be free and Qualcomm will discontinue the current paid client. Although it may seem like Eudora is simply abandoning its e-mail software, which has a small but strong following of loyal users, the company claims the Thunderbird-based client will retain "Eudora's uniquely rich feature set and productivity enhancements".

It looks like they're going to be adding code. As for giving any back, that probably depends on the terms of the Mozilla Public License whether or not they have to.

Of course, if they're hoping to get help from the Thunderbird community like they say, they better WANT to.
