1293.0. "Blanket corporate licenses to market makers???" by ACESMK::RLEE () Thu Sep 09 1993 21:50

    Since the IDEAS system is no more ... 
    
    Q:  Can Rdb Marketing grant blanket corporate licenses of Rdb to:
    
        Microsoft
        Apple Computer
        NeXT
        OSF
        FSF
    
    Reason:  
    
        I keep running into articles for developers from Apple, Microsoft, 
    NeXT, et.al., that ONLY mention Oracle and Sybase.  Those articles sound a
    lot like us when we can't get 3rd-party licenses to evaluate technology
    compatibility.  AND we should be sharing in the limelight.
    
                "... sometimes the practice of selfless giving is required ..."

    I hope you mean for marketing only. I believe APPLE uses Rdb for their
    manufacturing systems.

    Yup - right!
    
    The idea is to make it available to their dev/support/propaganda folks!
