I do not know exact answers, but... Borland allows community to
partcipiate in CLX development. To read more about, visit

Particulary intresting are parts "How to Collaborate" and "Submission
Ground Rules" In the later borland states, that:

"5) When a submission is to be accepted it must be digitally signed by
the submitter and include a waiver allowing Borland to ship the changes
with our proprietary license. When you are at the point of having your
submission accepted we will contact you with more details."

I think that it is reasonable to belive that Interbase will have similar
submission acceptance terms, and that means that if Borland will accept
Your modifications they will be able to ship comercial version also...
