What exactly does your customer question? The law (which has nothing to do
with Firebird, but with your country), the license or copyright of
Firebird, or the license or copyright of the database?

You don't register for copyright, copyright is something that is linked
with the creation of a work itself, so there is no 'certificate of
confirmation' (whatever that is, and whatever legal value such a document
would have). The open-source license of Firebird is available for
inspection and review, as is the original open-source licnese for the
release of Interbase. The history of source changes and their committers
can be viewed on sourceforge (through CVS and Subversion). If you really
need advise on copyright, I'd advise you took talk to a IP lawyer with
experience with open source..

Also I don't understand what you mean with 'We need to confirm all
copyright claims to take over!'.
