You don't buy a "licence" and a "product" separately. When you buy any product, you are paying for registration of that product under the terms of the Trustware Licence. You might get a clearer view of the Trustware Licence by visiting its page on the ibo website.

The Grand Bundle contains ALL IBO products. The Data Access bundle contains the equivalent of the full package under the old system (TIBO* and TIB_* data access and the native controls) plus you get the Getting Started Guide free if you are quick enough.

A "full" licence means you are providing full support for using the product which is registered. A "partial" licence means you are (temporarily) providing partial support - something which is possible if you are developing a product which may or may not become commercial. In that case, you are required to upgrade to the full licence once you deploy your first application.
