Thunderbird, Firebird, Camino

<< Previous Entry | Next Entry>>

Mozillazine, fresh from the Lame Branding By Uninspired Minds Department: "After months of discussion and further months of legal investigation, we're finally comfortable moving forward with new names. The new name for the Phoenix browser is 'Firebird'. The documentation and product strings will be updated soon. In addition to securing Firebird, we've also got the OK from those contributing legal resources to use the name 'Thunderbird' for a mail client. Hopefully this will be the end of naming legal issues for a while."

The third car name after Thunderbird for the mail client and Camino for the OS X Cocoa/Gecko browser. Gentlemen, please note that the name Firebird is already taken by another Open Source project, the Firebird Relational Database.

So what does the software look like? Like this:

1957 Ford Thunderbird, 1967 Pontiac Firebird

1973 Chevrolet El Camino
