It is NOT generally known! Thanks for the heads up. Why isn't this being shouted from the mountaintops?? There's actually not too much information about it on their website either. I sent in the request for the free license and got it a few minutes later. I can't wait to start using it instead of mysql! Are there any issues with using FrontBase that we should know starting out??

I think the reason more people do not know about this is the text on their web site. From the downloads page:
DOWNLOAD IMPORTANT! FrontBase™ requires a valid license string to run in the non-expiring mode. If FrontBase is used without a license string, databases will become inaccessible, but not destroyed, two months after they were created. Visit the FrontBase Store to generate a free E-Starter license or purchase one of our commercial licenses with comprehensive features.
This looks "not free" to me, no matter what the reality is.

I don't know if this is generally known, but FrontBase licenses are now free, FrontBase having switched to a paid-support model instead. So if any of you are using MySQL or Postgres, you might want to consider FrontBase instead.
