Dale/Borland/Inprise said something very different on Feb 14th.

After listening to the conference call, it's my opinion that Inprise
does
not intend to spin-off InterBase. Ann, Paul, or Matt would be better to
clarify this if they know. However, the words and actions today reflect
an
Inprise product line. In the cc, Dale said he committed to open
sourcing
InterBase and he did it. He also said they "discussed" the possibility
of
spinning off a company but that may not come to fruition. I do not
remember the exact wording.
