One does have to wonder how much of the license is what Sybase wants
and how much of the license is implicitly required by contracts Sybase
has with MS. Certain Sybase people (at least up to the VP level)
seemed to want to release it unconditionally. My understanding is
that the corporate lawyers said that wasn't possible.
I tend to think that Sybase was barred by previous agreements (probably
with MS) from a "free" release.
