+LICENSES
+--------
+
+The applicable and approved licenses for the source files
+of the Firebird RDBMS project are:
+
+  1) InterBase Public License (IPL), version 1.0
+     http://bdn.borland.com/article/0,1410,30198,00.html
+
+  2) Initial Developer's Public License (IDPL), version 1.0
+     http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&page=ibp_idpl
+
+The IPL is copyright of Borland Corp., the other licenses are copyright
+by the source code authors and contributors.
+
+
+USAGE RULES
+-----------
+
+1) The source code which was released under the IPL must keep this license.
+   All modifications / adaptations of this code are still subjects of the IPL.
+
+2) The files that are derived from the IPL covered code, must also keep
+   this license. It means that if any new file contains some code covered by
+   the IPL, then this file should be released under the IPL too.
+
+3) The new files developed by the members of the Firebird project should
+   be released under the IDPL.
+
+4) The new files contributed by people who are not members of the Firebird
+   project should follow the rule #3. If an author (initial developer) doesn't
+   specify the license to be used, the person who applies the contributed code
+   to the CVS tree (a committer) becomes responsible for the license assigned
+   to the contributed code.
+
+5) Every non-binary file that exists in the CVS tree, should have a header
+   section which describes the license this code is released under. If a file
+   contains no header, it means that this code is freeware and nobody owns the
+   appropriate copyrights.
+
+
+You may find the exhibits for the approved licenses in /doc/license directory
+of the CVS tree.
