    So the c/s restriction is purely related to the specific native db drivers
    supplied with Delphi. If you're using (say) MySQL with MyODBC, you're fine
    (I know, IANAL...) . I was worried that the restriction was in some way
    'viral' - if you built an app with 'pro', subsequently reconfiguring an ODBC
    driver to make it use a 'remote' database was illegal under the license.
