You can pay for MySQL documentation as well as needing to pay licence 
fees for some uses and versions of MySQL. The chargeable Firebird 
documents are not essential just as the chargeable MySQL aren't. But at 
least with Firebird you don't have to worry if you are going to hit a 
licence fee some time.

The free Firebird stuff is more capable than a lot of the Free MySQL 
stuff anyway ;)
