+This directory contains common Python code for Thunderbird.
+
+The basic rule is that if Python code is cross-module (that's "module" in the
+Mozilla meaning - as in "module ownership") and is MPL-compatible, AND it
+applies only to applications build from comm-central derived repositories
+(Thunderbird and Seamonkey), it should go here.
+
+What should not go here:
+
+- Vendored python modules (use third_party/python instead)
+- Python that is not MPL-compatible (see other-licenses/)
+- Python that has good reason to remain close to its "owning" (Mozilla)
+ module (e.g. it is only being consumed from there).
