Firebird Database Project Admin Ann Harrison Interviewed (MozillaZine)

MozillaZine interviews Ann Harrison, project administrator of the Firebird Database Project. "A little bit of history here. Borland owns the InterBase copyright and released one version under a variant of the Mozilla license in July of 2000. Borland declined to allow write access to "outsiders" and to accept contributions from them -- us. Mark O'Donohue and a few others who wanted to work on the code created a fork and called it Firebird. All work on InterBase Open Edition has stopped. Firebird is an active project."
