Different names, especially "embedded"/"standard"/"enterprise" suppose
different functionality (and also size of the distribution), since
commercial vendors use those words exactly for such purposes.
But the fact is that person who's embedding Firebird gets the same
functionality as the one using "enterprise" version, the only thing
that is missing is support for wire protocol, the difference in size
is few hundred kilobytes, that does not count. We are different, we
have something that can be called "one size fit all", it works and
works very good, and we give it for free. Why should we constraint us
by the limits that others invent?
