The open-source InterBase(tm) 6.0 spin-off (Classic server version) InterBase is a world-class DBMS with a history too rich to detail here. Once selling for several thousands of dollars per license, some very big players use it worldwide. Inprise has open-sourced InterBase 6.0, and a lively bunch of folks has charged themselves with seeing that it lives on through the Firebird project.
