Subject Re: Names (was: Oracle to offer free database)
Author Svein Erling Tysvær
Just one minor detail, Artur. There is absolutely no decision that
have been made, I just suggested a possible name change - I'm not even
a member of fb-admins or fb-architect. As to which version to call
standard and enterprise, well, I just had no coin at hand to toss, so
I made a random choice. There may well be other name changes that are
better, the "Free Oracle" subject just made me realise that the names
of our current versions are better suited for those of us that are
already in the Firebird fold, than for potentially new users - let
alone CEOs.
