That would indeed be asking for trouble. I think Firebird doesn't need to
conceil its origin, but it should not use the name 'Interbase' in any form
of advertising.

OTOH, if such a description were found on a Red Hat box, it would be Red Hat
who they'd have to sue, not any of us. Isn't that so?

Cheers,
