If Betterbird is giving that notice, I wonder if this means that all forks of Firefox will also be affected in that same way.

Total pricks.

The best case scenario is they are simply being too cautious, and they can eventually remove that disclaimer.

Otherwise... I don't know. I assumed Thunderbird and friends used Gecko, but I never thought a component in Firefox could be put in a different product and cause people to be subject to a Mozilla license.
