Well, Michael, I already made a post of the parts in the Interbase licence
that states that the database product is free. I think I read the licence
very carefully, and as far as I can see, the licence is indeed free. The
licence includes sentences like the ones included below, which states that
one can freely use and distribute Interbase although one is not granted a
patent right. This is, I believe, sufficient if you just want to put
Interbase underneath your web application. Now, should you (or anyone else)
disagree in this matter, I would be very interested in hearing your
comments.
Yours
