AFAIR, Inprise no sooner opened the IB6 source code than Frank S_G found the heinous backdoor and Inprise closed their tree again for some time. When they reopened it (read-only) they had upped their IPL to 1.1. I'm very sure that we never took any source off that tree after the very first download. IPL [1.0] is the licence for the code we took.and from which Firebird was built.
