Best Idea I've heard in a long time, even including the VAR thing which is
also sensible.

Just a thought on the Free-IB thing - giving away free LOCAL interbase
would be an excellent idea - you get the benefits of a C/S db for single
user projects, and the ability to scale if needed.
With the imminent movement in MIDAS licence costs, having localIB
available does fullfill the runtime performance limitation that someone
else mentioned - if you are limited to, say, 6 connections (ie, 2 users)
to the DB from the middle tier, your connection pooling is going to be
waiting a LOT - hence a performance drop. Buy more licences, and bingo,
performanace goes up, and almost everyone wins - Inprise gets paid for a
good product, the developer can keep the small users happy, and keep
themselves afloat. The person who loses out is the end user who wants 5
users, for eg. But they would have lost out anyway, so it is really no
different for them.
