Yes, you are right...maybe they are trying to stop the migration from
IB to FB by just delaying the provision of a DBX driver.

For whatever reason, InterBase sales and profits have gone up during
the time that the Firebird has been available. While there's no doubt
that people use Firebird, there is also no evidence of large migration
away from InterBase. So there's not really any "problem" to solve
there.

Anyway, have anyone tested DBX IB connector with Firebird? it should
work perfectly.

IMHO, it is insane to ship production software in an unsupported
configuration when there are cheap, third-party dbExpress drivers for
Firebird already available.
