As far as I understand it, the client machine is *accessing* the executable
software (firebird server) on the server. On Classic, it can be even considered
that it *runs* the software, since an instance of Classic is only run for client
application.

Why is is a problem only for MySQL? I don't see the difference.

Yes, but clients are *accessing* those services which is clearly stated as not
permitted.

For those who complained about usage of IIS, there is a special licence designed
for webservers, internet applications, etc.

Now this part confuses. I wonder how is "Product" defined in EULA? Can Firebird
be a "product"? If yes, then anyone can issue his client an "unlimited access
licence" for Firebird, and case closed. :)

Or simply just use Linux and don't worry about anything.
