    This assumption is wrong. The people at NexusDB did a completely new
    product. They first intended to market a FF3 as they (not TP) had already
    done most of the stuff. This FF3 code should be a donation to TP in the
    first place. Then TP vanished and they did not get a permission from TP to
    use former FF code in their own product when they decided to roll out their
    own database. So while NexusDB does have some familarities with FF regarding
    some concepts and behaviour it is still a new thing. These common ideas are
    not a coincidence as Thorsten Engler, the architect behind NexusDB, did the
    layout for many of FF2's features.

    I think there is a history page on the NexusDB website with more
    information.
