May be we should add a file in doc/license, stating that we know about missing license at inprise's URL, but must keep it as is, and certainly add a link to our site? -- Get a FREE DOWNLOAD! and learn more about uberSVN rich system, user administration capabilities and model configuration.

Borland was Inprise at that time... hence the url. Dale Fuller was in the process of trying to change the name back from Inprise to Borland.

Re: [Firebird-devel] url from headers - Email found in subject
Marius, Now inprise.com is owned by someone else And this is the project's problem, how? There are likely thousands of documents/files which Inprise released which have URLs which are now unreachable... that is just a fact of life. It just so happens that a number of those documents are the Firebird code headers. As the document owners it is their responsibility to address this problem. In fact, if Embacadero feels that the issue needs attention, they (as the copyright owners) could host the original license text (there was a revision, which the Firebird code is NOT covered by) as a new link and then prepare/submit a patch with the corrected headers to the project for our review/approval and check-in. It is, however, most certainly not for the project developers to change the headers, in any way.
