Re: [Firebird-devel] license for examples wrong links

2013-07-19 Thread Paul Beach
The two links at IBPhoenix for the original license (IPL) 
http://www.ibphoenix.com/about/firebird/ipl
and the (IDPL) 
http://www.ibphoenix.com/about/firebird/idpl

Are true representatives of both licenses. 

The IPL is the original license, that was released along with the original 
source
code (i.e the same Inprise web page) as per how Ann, I and others devised it, 
subsequent Inprise/Borland versions had some modifications made by 
Inprise/Borland (as was their right), 
however as far as the Firebird project was concerned we always pointed to the 
original version since this was the license that was used when the code was 
forked. 
You can take a copy if the licenses, place them on firebirdsql,org and point to 
that if you like. 

However regardless of whether the source code has currently the right URL or 
not, IBP has always 
hosted an original and correct version of both licenses.

Regards
Paul

If the project is going to host the pages, I would suggest that the page have a 
header stating that the page contents are the true copies of the license, for 
which page links are no longer available from the copyright holder.
