Ahhh...yes.  This must have changed then.  End-of-thread.
I should have read up on the current bdb license before
posting.  Sorry for the noise.

http://sleepycat.com/company/licensing.html

	The Sleepycat open source license permits
	you to use Berkeley DB, Berkeley DB Java Edition
	or Berkeley DB XML at no charge under the condition
	that if you use the software in an application
	you redistribute, the complete source code for your
	application must be available and freely
	redistributable under reasonable conditions. If you
	do not want to release the source code for your
	application, you may purchase a license from
	Sleepycat Software.
