This is a bold claim, and if true it's certainly interesting. However,
without *any* information what your technology does (basic mechanics, no
implementation details are necessary) it's just a bold claim as it's
impossible to judge whether it's genuine innovation or just hoax. It's
also not clear what you're seeking, business partner to cash on your
invention or a way to contribute it into Firebird codebase. If you're
looking for business partner, then you should consider to contact Paul
Beach at IBPhoenix (see
http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&page=ibp_contact), if
you're looking for best way how to reach Firebird engine developers,
then firebird-devel or firebird-architect list is the best and most
direct route.
