Thunderbird is an independent project with its legal and financial home at <a href="%(foundation)s">the Mozilla Foundation</a>. The Mozilla Foundation believes the Internet is a global public resource that must remain open and accessible to all. It is focused on advocacy issues and keeping the Internet healthy, but is also the sole shareholder in the maker of Firefox, the Mozilla Corporation. Mozilla exerts no governance over the project, which instead falls to the Thunderbird Council, elected by the Thunderbird project’s community. The Mozilla Foundation became Thunderbird’s home after an <a href="%(home_blog_post)s">exploration of legal homes in 2017</a>.
Thunderbird je neovisan projekt s odvojenim pravnim i financijskim dijelom pod kapom <a href="%(foundation)s">Mozilla fundacije</a>. Mozilla fundacija vjeruje da je internet globalni javni resurs koji mora ostati otvoren i dostupan svima. Usmjerena je na zaštitu i održavanje Interneta zdravim, ali je i jedini dioničar u proizvođaču Firefoxa, Mozilla Corporation. Mozilla ne upravlja Thunderbird projektom, nego upravljanje vodi Thunderbird vijeće, izabrano od strane Thunderbird zajednice. Mozilla fundacija je postala dom Thunderbirda nakon <a href="%(home_blog_post)s">istraživanja pravnih subjekata u 2017. godini</a>.
