OCLC's SiteSearch was commercial but has now been turned over to the
open source community. It is at http://opensitesearch.sourceforge.net
(SiteSearch is a Z39.50-enabled digital library/OPAC application.)
It also seems like Firebird (/usr/ports/databases/firebird) started life
as the commercial database InterBase.
Cheers,
Paul.
