I do not want to be rude on anybody, but truly (one or two L by the way ?),
my database friends, don't we have *any* more urgent or important issues to
work on regarding Interbase (fork or not), than trying to find a new name
for it ?

IMHO, I do not really care, _now_, how it better be named.

I do care (and work the way I can) on getting the complete test system
released by Inprise. I do care on getting the bits forgotten from this
initial source code release to be properly published. I do care on getting
the documentation released open-source.

I know we all do care about all these and more :-)
But I sometimes find we are all like kids in school.
Too easily disturbed from their main tasks.

Oh, by the way, don't you think that no matter what Inprise did|did not
to|for Interbase in the past, Inprise is still important today for the
success|failure of the open-sourcing of Interbase ? There are still
important resources in their hands (not yet released to the public). I'd
better spend some more effort, if not dollars, to help 'round the square
angles' and get those missing things.
