I'm interested in a broad overview of how they are diverging and why.

Please feel free to edit/improve this question if you know more about the topic: I've asked it mainly as an excuse to save interbase which currently exists on only one question.– Jack DouglasCommented Jan 31, 2014 at 12:56

Nope. And here I thought linking within the SE family was pretty safe...– Colin 't HartCommented May 31, 2014 at 18:57

@Colin'tHart, the link is fine but not visible to all. You need 10K rep I think to see deleted answers.– ypercubeᵀᴹCommented Jul 19, 2014 at 21:57

InterBase version 6 was released under an open-source license in mid-2000, and was immediately forked to become the Firebird project.
Later versions of InterBase reverted to closed-source and the projects have diverged. Both are still actively developed. Developer’s tools and libraries traditionally support both servers but they are growing apart.
