So they made IB6 free, got a bunch of people using it, then decided
that it could turn a profit again? That's almost funny :>
Firebird might be worth looking into if you don't want to shell out
bucks on licensing, but I guess if you want to maintain future
compatibility you'll have to pay for IB>6.

Which was expected by a lot of people. Firebird is based on the
opensource IB6, but divergent from it. Wonder if the various IB6 ODBC
drivers and component sets out there will support it?
