For those of us who got into personal computers in the late 80s and early
90s, this is momentous news:

http://www.computerhistory.org/_static/atchm/the-eudora-email-client-source-code/

Qualcomm donated the whole thing - source, trademarks, domain names - to
the Computer History Museum. From the page above:

    The discussion with Qualcomm for the release of the Eudora source
    code by the company�s museum took five years. In the end, they
    decided not to simply grant a license, but to transfer ownership
    of the code, the Eudora trademarks, the copyrights, and the Eudora
    domain names to the Computer History Museum (CHM). The transfer
    agreement allows us to publish the code under the very liberal BSD
    open source license, which means that anyone can use it for either
    personal or commercial purposes. 

I still use Eudora 23 years on.
