I excluded this because 11.0.3.3 is not the current version of Sybase ASE. However, I included InterBase 6.0 (which is also not the current version) and I included other packages which haven't been updated for years. So my criteria weren't clear, and -- as Mr Verschoor has noted elsewhere -- I didn't define "current". So I've said sorry.

I would also exclude anything that's free "for production use" but the Sybase page suggests that this version (only) is also free for deployment.
