Hi legal team,

As part of the Apache James project we decided to add support for OAUTH across all email protocols (see https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/JAMES/issues/JAMES-3680). Using the OIDC sub-protocol this enable more robust authentication schemes to be used in IMAP, JMAP, and SMTP.

The set up is quite complex so we decided to also contribute fully working examples. 

To demonstrate that our changes works we used the Thunderbird Mail User Agent. Yet, the setup for Thunderbird is far from trivial as the list of supported providers is hard coded in a source file. Of course we would like to fully document the use of OIDC in IMAP/SMTP with at least one Mail User Agent, which means shipping the modified file as part of the example. 

This file is protected by the Mozilla Public license v2.

Can it be included as is in an Apache project?

If no, what are our alternatives?
