A DataBase that no-one would have heard of if it were not for Mozilla.org's decision to rename their Phoenix browser (which conflicted with Phoenix BIOS co's interest in browsers) to the same name, after months of checking and the decision that no-one would get confused.
Uproar ensued.
Now, Mozilla.org have rescinded and said that Firebird is only the name of the platform, like Seamonkey is the name for the current platform.
Firebird is a spinoff of Borland's open-sourced !InterBase?.
