Nope, better. MPL-style. You can embed it in your own program without having to release the source for your entire program - just the ones that involve Firebird code directly (I think this is how its license works more or less). By the way, re growing the database to GBs, if you hit the OS file size limit, it is possible to span your DB across several files (supposedly relatively painlessly) in Firebird. According to http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenixApp&page=ibp_techspec maximum DB size is 32 Terabytes spanning multiple files, up to 4GB rows per table with a max. row size of 64K (not sure if that includes BLOBs). _ Philippine Linux Users Group.
