Now that's a good question.  If we rephrase our tag to:
"Most Advanced Open Source ORDBMS" it's not a problem.

However, it really depends upon what apects in which we consider
ourselves to be the "Most Advanced" -- what is "Advanced" in that
context?  Are we advanced in terms of features, or are we advanced in
terms of our development process? I believe we are advanced in both
regards -- and we're certainly the most advanced when it comes to
maturity of development in an open source fashion -- advanced in age in
that context.

Until InterBase is released open source, it remains to be seen how
advanced of an open source database it will be.
