One thing that I did not notice before, was that in their FAQ they state
it is not open source. I am not familiar enough with GPLv3 to reconcile
this statement. Someone else may be able to clarify this. It may be to
allow a user to tweak the database to their own needs and not run afoul
of copyright. So acquiring the code base alone may not be an option.
They do have contacts to address questions concerning this.
Perhaps they make a distinction between Free Software and Open Source?
If they're using GPL v3, then they are definitely Free Software, not to
mention the license is pretty much compatible with the LGPL v3 used by OO.o.
I'm not sure that you could produce something with Access that is truly
Free Software, though. It has been a while since I've done anything in
Access, and I don't really recall its license terms.
