I do a apt-cache show firebird-c64-server here, and get this :- <quote> (with several snips) Package: firebird-c64-server Priority: optional Section: misc Installed-Size: 500 Maintainer: Grzegorz Prokopski (Debian Developer) <gadek@debian.org> Architecture: i386 Source: firebird Version: 1.0.2-2.1 Firebird is a commercially independent project of C and C++ programmers, technical advisors and supporters developing and enhancing a multi-platform relational database management system based on the source code released by Inprise Corp (now known as Borland Software Corp) under the InterBase Public License v.1.0 on 25 July, 2000. </quote> Ditto for firebird-c32-server
http://info.borland.com/devsupport/interbase/opensource/IPL.htmlIPL is essentially MPL, with a s/Mozilla/InterBase. It has the same choice of venue clauses.
In addition, if this is indeed the version of the license that applies to Firebird (I.E. it wasn't forked before these restrictions were added), it also has an OAC, and some sticky 'you can't use our name clauses' at the end which might be worth looking at:
"II. Trademark Usage.II.1. Advertising Materials. All advertising materials mentioning features or use of the covered Code must display the following acknowledgement: "This product includes software developed by Borland Software Corp. "
II.2. Endorsements. The names "InterBase," "ISC," and "IB" must not be used to endorse or promote Contributor Versions or Larger Works without the prior written permission of Interbase.
II.3. Product Names. Contributor Versions and Larger Works may not be called "InterBase" or "Interbase" nor may the word "InterBase" appear in their names without the prior written permission of Interbase."
