    Does this outfit have both URLs? Doing a whois doesn't turn up anything useful. However, typing the URLs into a browser takes me to that web site. computerhistory.org

    Since the source code was turned over to the Computer History Museum, and Qualcomm has washed its hands of Eudora... Seems normal practice -- especially to park the domains rather than have some other personage grab
    them (most likely for a porn site <G>)

    Doesn’t your subject answer the question? Some background on why the Eudora URLs redirect to the Computer History Museum can be found here:
    https://computerhistory.org/press-releases/eudora-source-code/ https://computerhistory.org/blog/the-eudora-email-client-source-code/

    Hope this helps.

    No, it doesn't answer the question, or I would not have asked it.

    The links you provide also do not answer it. Neither even mentions the links except to say they are not available as part of the license.

    From the first link:

    Qualcomm has transferred ownership of the code, the Eudora trademarks, copyrights, and the Eudora domain names to the Computer History Museum.
