Hmm... I'm sorry for not being clear. My point was that since our 
patches (in our tree) were changing Firebird, they *automatically* 
follow Firebird license - or otherwise we couldn't have modified it. So 
I meant that whatever LibreOffice licensing is, the patches in Firebird 
External subdirectory are already license-compatible with upstream Firebird.
