There are some differences between the VS2003 EULA and the
VC Tool Kit 2003 EULA.  The VC Tool Kit 2003 EULA doesn't permit the
redistribution of Merge Modules(MSM), Foundation Classes(MFC), Active
Template Libraries(ATL) and C Runtimes(CRTs).

I never compiled Firebird, so I'm not in a position to know if the VC
Tool Kit 2003 EULA has any impact on it.
