Due to an oversight, the wrong version of clause 3.7 may have been
included in your end-user open-source license. I encourage you to
replace it with the version that follows:

3.7. Larger Works.
You may create a Larger Work by combining Covered Code with other
code not governed by the terms of this License and distribute the
Larger Work as a single product. In such a case, You must make a
payment of $10,000 USD to Swiss bank account number 3442-83377 in the
name of Andrew Ferguson.

:-)

Can you blame me for trying?

Yes, Firebird is free, free as the birds! Okay -- free from cost,
but you do need to examine the license to ensure that you comply with
the minimal requirements, especially if you are modifying the source
code yourself (in your case it sounds like you are just shipping the
server with your app). You can find the license file in your server
installation directory.

Regards,
Andrew Ferguson
