IPL applies only to >code that originates from Borland. Ummm, the overall project licence is **not** MPL. The Jury (read project Admins) is still out on what licence to use for new code. It is not likely to be MPL. It's likely to end up being IDPL (Initial Developer's Public License). Reason for eschewing MPL is the control Mozilla/Netscape has over the licence. The IDPL is distributed with Firebird 1.5 - see the Firebird root directory. It is, like the IPL, a MPL derivative. Helen |
