This is the part of the license agreement that I find objectionable:


The ClientDataset, as I understand it, is an in-memory dataset and it's not
even suitable for shared access. It's purpose in life is to let you build
fast memory based data handlers and, if you want, write them to file when
you're done. I don't use that process myself but I probably will use it for
some stuff. I only discovered it recently.

You should be using DBGo (ADO) or dbExpress (strictly SQL) or one of the
other server connected processes for mullti-tier apps. The really great
thing is that they've brought forward the developer interface in a way that
allows code using ClientDataset to be upgraded easily to other methods
(their ADO has a thin ADODataSet that looks a lot like the ClientDataset).

They've got more data options than you can believe, and they're included
even in the free Turbo packages I think..

I again point you to the webinar video posted on their site.

Go to http://bdn.borland.com/ then click on the "TV and Radio" tab.
