Interbase 6.0 OpenSource pollFollowing the announcement of the first non-beta release of IB 6.0 Open Source, our company had planned on offering free media for Interbase upon request on this OSInet site. After discussions with various interested parties, and to ensure we were doing the right thing, we chose to take the pulse of these developers interested in IB 6.0 by means of a poll regarding such media distribution by a third party without any direct links to the original developer of the newly-born OpenSource version, and the correct ethical standpoint to be adopted regarding the possibility of such distribution. The poll lasted one full week after the release of IB 6.0 by its original developer. This process is now over, and we can reflect on its results. Unforeseen and interesting issues were raised, and are collected here. We welcome any comment about them, and will publish them if applicable:
The participation count is not high enough to allow full disclosure of the results without revealing personal information, so here are the summary answers. Note that numbers are not audited, and it could be conceived that some users had voted several times. Entries were checked manually for duplicates, but this possibility can not be totally excluded, because no digital persona identification were used, for privacy reasons.
As was announced during the poll, all collected individual data have been destroyed to preserve the responders' privacy. Interbase, Borland, Inprise are trademarks or registered trademarks of Inprise Corporation or Interbase Corporation. This poll was in no way commissioned, requested or even approved by Inprise Corp. or Interbase Corp. or their subsidiaries, which remain sole owner of all rights attached to the trademarks.
