Apple mail support GPG easily. No need to use Thunderbird.

Can you please provide a few references to that claim?

They might be talking about S/MIME.

I use https://github.com/Free-GPGMail/Free-GPGMail which is a plugin for GNUPG, without the "support" plan.

GPG Mail is a paid for add-on, but it works and it works well.

It's not a paid add-on... GnuPG is open source. They are selling a support plan in case you need help with open source.

Here is the same thing, without the paid support. https://github.com/Free-GPGMail/Free-GPGMail

- GPG Suite was released under an Open Source license in the past. Is that stil the case?

You GPG Suite including GPG Mail is still going to be released under an Open Source license.

- Am I still allowed to compile my own version of GPG Mail / GPG Suite removing any code regarding the trial or activation?

You absolutely are, the GPL makes sure of that. You will find the source code on this website next to the download link for GPG Suite.

We would kindly like to ask you not to use our names or icons if you plan to publish a binary for others to use. Also please do not release any complete installers as that may suggest that they are official releases.

To be pedantic, the version I linked to is a paid addin. However, you are correct - there is/are unofficial unpaid and unsupported versions available that I was unaware of, per the FAQ and the repository that you linked, which has nothing to do with GPGTools GmbH; from the repo, “This does not constitute any endorsement or promotion of our releases by the respective copyright or trademark holders.” Thanks for sharing this.
