Please clarify the licence, is it GPL or MPL-2.0?

[Mayeu]

Hello,

From the licence file in the repository it looks like this project is using MPL-2.0, but when opening the source code each file has the GPL header.

Can you clarify your position on the licence? I'm happy to create a pull request containing the needed change, but I would need to know the adequate licence for that :)

Thank you for your great plugin 🙏

I meant to just MPL and I'll gladly merge your pr ;)

[Mayeu]

Thank you for your response! I'll try to a PR during this week then :)

Hi there! I can totally understand not having the time to work on things, but I have a bit of time and could work on new releases if you want to transition the add-on.

It would be great to merge the MPL2 license first just to make sure there were no license issues, then if you were interested, you could have a look at the beta release I just packaged up on my fork:

https://github.com/mikehardy/thunderlink/releases

And add me as a contributor on AMO (I'm MikeHardy / [email protected] over there) - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Add-ons/Distribution

Regardless if you're interested or not, thanks for any work you've done on the plugin, it's integrated into my main task workflow :-)

I'm currently having trouble logging into developer.mozilla.org but I can log in to addons.thunderbird.net so I added you as a dev in the addon settings @mikehardy
is that enough? how come developer.mozilla.org only offers github login?

[mikehardy]

Thanks @poohsen - I think that's enough, I see the "manage" button now and it looks like it works. I'll see what I can do going forward but I'm of course happy to leave you on there unless you'd prefer I remove you. Fingers crossed I can maintain it well enough just so it works as new versions are released, I'm addicted to deep mail links in external todo lists, and likewise prefer thunderbird over other clients on Linux :-). Thanks again for creating this

[mikehardy]

Ah wait - @poohsen - turns out unless you make me an "Owner" I can't manage all aspects. Obviously that role designation is at your discretion though - with the current Developer role I can publish new versions, so that's functional enough to implement forward-compatibility and release it to others...

[poohsen]

@mikehardy AFAICS the only permissions not included in the developer role compared to the owner role are for adding/removing users and roles. You should be able to alter all other aspects of the addon as you see fit.

@poohsen this may be a random place to drop a note - but I just wanted to mention for you (in case you still have this in your workflow?) that thunderlink with TB60+ has link creation and use working (I think).

Preferences still aren't working, but the "daily use" cases are back.

I need to finish forward-porting and addressing mozilla.org's concerns for an official release but in case it's useful to you personally since you created it, I thought you should know - https://github.com/mikehardy/thunderlink/releases/tag/1.2.2-beta2
