I like the Freedom theme. But maybe we should turn it around- Rather than
vaguely stating what's right about Firebird, we can point out what's wrong
with the other products Firebird competes with.
How about
"Firebird: No strings attached." or "Firebird: No fine print."
We can follow that with statements like
Unlike MySQL, there's no clause in the contract that makes you pay if you
decide to distribute your program.
Unlike PostGres, you don't have to become a Unix guru to figure out how to
install the thing on Windows.
Unlike MS (MCSE), there's no 4G line that you cross and suddenly have to
spend big bucks on SQL server.
Unlike MySQL, you don't have to decide between speed and stored procedures
and transactions and reliability by carefully deciding which table type to
use under which circumstances.
