 This (attached image) is what you see when you install Thunderbird and set
 it up the first time. I think it would be a good idea to have something
 like this in the WP application to let people know their rights under the
 license and reinforce that WordPress is open source, not just some program
 their consultant set up for them. It could be a dashboard module that is
 on by default when you first do an install, with a nice 'dismiss' button
 to hide it, or a dismissable popup or whatever. I'm leaning toward
 dashboard module, so that if they want to see it again later to follow a
 link or something, they can find it easily. We could combine it with some
 welcoming text that prompts them to use the screen options and help tabs,
 too.
