After Firebird, it should have been named Petrushka, then Rite of Spring.

That aside: Borland's GPL'd(?) Interbase is Firebird. Posters mentioned there were two significant OSS progjects. What's the other?

There were two significant OSS projects called firebird: the database and the browser. Now there's only one left.
