I found Mozilla Thunderbird in Trisquel's package listings.

And, sadly, the GNU PPA has no Gnuzilla version of Thunderbird.

I still need a free copy of Thunderbird.

What should I do?

Trademark restriction are acceptable in free systems.

"However, it is unacceptable to use trademarks to restrict verbatim
copying and redistribution of the whole distribution, or any part" means
that selling copies of the package must be allowed, while the Mozilla
trademark policy doesn't allow it. See
http://jxself.org/mozilla_trademark.shtml for why it is a problem.

A (critical because freedom-related) bug has already been opened about that Thunderbird rebranding/addon URL issue:

So, what can I do? GNU doesn't have a Gnuzilla version of Thunderbird.

Debian has a re-branded version, IceDove I think.

I try to stay away from Debian. I'm going to look for gNewSense's spinoff.
