``Inprise is taking a leadership role in the Open-Source movement by releasing the beta version of InterBase 6 under an open-source license. We are taking this
bold step because we believe every Linux distribution needs InterBase,' said Dale Fuller, interim CEO and president of Inprise Corporation. ``By open-sourcing
InterBase, we will be unleashing a world-class database for companies worldwide to develop and deploy business-critical, mobile computing, and Internet-based
applications for multiple platforms, including Linux, Solaris, and Windows NT. This is an amazing opportunity for Inprise, its customers and the Open-Source

reliability, security, and total cost of ownership.'
The beta version of InterBase 6 is scheduled to be available during the first part of the year 2000. The company also announced it will continue to sell and support
InterBase 5.6 through normal distribution channels. Additional details on the plans to open-source InterBase will be available on Inprise/Borland's web site at
