Eudora now says on the site that the no-nagware version (paid) is no
longer being sold. Does this mean Eudora may be going away?

Eudora are planning on releasing their code as open source - I don't

The free version now has no adverts, so you can just use that (as I
do).

Eudora are not planning to release the code, but the original Eudora
developers will be developing the open source "lookalike" - which also
gets a new name - Penelope!
