I am part of a development team that has recently switched to firebird.
We are using the database as part of our commercial application. The
database is installed by our installers transparently to the users. Are
there any licensing issues with this scenario? I have looked at other
discussions that talk about the source, but we are just using firebird
in its binary form. Some people expressed concerns with using Firebird
as an "embedded" server I'm not sure what sense they mean embedded i.e.
the type of server, or like us that our application relies on the
database?
If anyone could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Scott Buckham.
