Don't get me wrong, I don't really understand this position. I still 
think that a tidy support for Firebird in CodeGears IDE product line 
*will* benefit CodeGears IDE, especially the BDS/Delphi business.

BDS is bundled with MSSQL, for instance. Borland (when the CodeGear 
announcement hasn't been published at that time) sponsored the this year 
Firebird conference, for instance. So, IMHO, re-thinking the usual 
position, especially from TeamB members, might make sense.

I don't want to start another "lets get ready to rumble" discussion. For 
those who have been at the Firebird conference, have seen, that there 
*might* be a movement.
