The IBPhoenix crowd have no more rights to a Firebird build than
anyone else. Yes, you can build and offer binaries. It would
probably be best if you called them Firebird as long as they are
built from the Firebird source tree. The IPL prevents you from
calling them InterBase(r) - as if anyone would. That prohibition
is a trademark issue. You could call them FIngerBird if you
want - there's no prohibition on that either.

You'd save the world a lot of trouble if you listed the differences
between the binaries on your site and FB1, and the difference between
it and other binaries on sourceforge, just so we don't answer that
question on the lists once (or twice) for everyone who finds your
site.
