Maybe I wasn't paying any attention, but... I'll ask anyway. (It never stopped
me before!)

If InterBase is open-source and free, why are there license keys that must be
carried along with it?

I guess the answer is: Because it's not important enough to worry about
removing the code....

But, if that's the answer, then why are you putting time limits on the license
keys you are distributing?

I guess the answer is: Because InterBase really isn't open-source *yet*. But
it almost is.

Paul/Ann/Jim, could you shed some light on this?

Thanks,

Greg
