I think that you hit the nail on the head...It is down to the legal
boys and as we all know, these animals can take there own sweet time
to come up with the correct words. I am sure that once IB6 is open
source then either a blanket licence file will be issued, or the
licenceing logic will be removed.

My preference is for a blanket licence file, so that I can restrict
connections to interbase as a way of restricting the number of
clients using the application that I sell.
