It's a different kind of license, I suppose. As far as I can tell, LGPL allows you to link to an LGPL'ed module without open-sourcing the product being linked. That's the common sense assumption, but Rick Moen may have something additional to comment on that. With Firebird's MPL style license, my common sense interpretation is that you only have to open source your mods that have directly to do with the MPL'ed code. Best clarification of course would be to explain your particular usage scenaro to the firebird people at the news.atkin.com ib-support newsgroup.
