How?

A diff file attached for example?

And I have a IPL license question:

- If my modifications are included in the borland tree...I'm the author of
this code and I want to put to the tree on the IPL terms.
- So if Borland releases a version (supose 6.2)  that includes this(my)
enhacements it's not legal to distribute a licensed comercial version of the
Interbase engine without releasing the source code (of the code included in
IPL that I also touched). I supose Borland is doing that because the code
was introduced from Borland  engineers or they have the authorization of the
authors to do it.
Am I wrong?
As far as I know the IPL license not only protects Borland, it protects also
the code introduced by the comunity.

Thanks
