Re: Interbase Licence

[Andreas Tille <tillea@rki.de>]

Hello,

I've got an answer about license of documentation after a
question in a Interbase-Newsgroup.  Just in case someone is
interested ...

Kind regards

         Andreas.

Although the code has been open sourced, along with the binaries, the
documentation has not been open-sourced and is till under Inprise's
copyright.
The documentation you have got, is actually beta documentation, and although
work has been done to create final doc's these are not available yet. If you
want the rights to distribute these docs with a debian release of InterBase
you will have to contact Inprise Legal.....

Cal +1 831 431 1000, and ask for Inprise Legal.
