SQL Anywhere doesn't really have "Sybase" roots.

It started out as Watcom SQL, then after Watcom was acquired by PowerSoft, it was renamed to "SQL Anywhere".

After Sybase acquired PowerSoft it was later renamed to "Adaptive Server Anywhere". I think SAP renamed it back to "SQL Anywhere" after they acquired Sybase.

Ah that makes sense, thanks for the correction. I first heard it from my colleague, and probably mixed it up due to the anywhere name when checking out Wikipedia later.
