I guess there is no licensing issue. Reading the bug the licensing issue was
resolved in 2007. Old memory ;)

Hey Magnus,
you said the TNEF addons all have license problems and use non-OSS libraries.
The most popular is LookOut
https://addons.mozilla.org/de/thunderbird/addon/lookout/
The page says it's MPL 1.1. I looked at the content, it's pure JS and tnef.js
has no special license header, so I assume it's MPL 1.1 like the rest. The ext
page description says "The TNEF decoding engine was inspired (with permission)
by the tnef.sf.net project", so that appears to be a re-write by the LookOut
author.
Do you still think that there are license problems? If so, which ones?
