Mozilla Sunbird is a free and open source, cross-platform calendar application that was developed by the Mozilla Foundation, Sun Microsystems and many volunteers.[3] Mozilla Sunbird was described as "... a cross platform standalone calendar application based on Mozilla's XUL user interface language."[4] Announced in July 2003,[5] Sunbird is a standalone version of the Mozilla Calendar Project.

It was developed as a standalone version of the Lightning calendar and scheduling extension for Mozilla Thunderbird. Development of Sunbird was ended with release 1.0 beta 1 to focus on development of Mozilla Lightning.[6][7]

Sun contributions

Sun Microsystems contributed significantly to the Lightning extension project to provide users with an alternative free and open source choice to Microsoft Office by combining OpenOffice.org and Thunderbird/Lightning.[8] Sun's key focus areas in addition to general bug fixing were calendar views, team/collaboration features and support for the Sun Java System Calendar Server.[9] Since both projects share the same code base, any contribution to one of them is a direct contribution to the other.

Trademark issues and Iceowl

Main article: Mozilla Corporation software rebranded by the Debian project

Although released under a MPL, MPL/GPL/LGPL tri-license, Mozilla Sunbird suffers from trademark restrictions that prevent the distribution of modified versions with the Mozilla branding.

As a result the Debian project created Iceowl, a virtually identical version without the branding restrictions.
