Summary
Thunderbird suggests non-free addons

Description
In Thunderbird, when you click on the link to get more addons in Extra → Addons, it takes you to https://addons.mozilla.org/. That website doesn’t distinguish between free and non-free addons. The Icecat project has a list of only free addons. Some of those addons might also be used in Thunderbird, although the web page doesn’t mark them as such. But it’s better then nothing. See also http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnewsense-dev/2009-06/msg00013.html.
