--- Comment #16 from Enji Cooper <ngie@FreeBSD.org> ---
(In reply to John Hein from comment #4)

No--BDB 1.85 is clearly BSD 4-clause based on the licensing in the source f=
iles
distributed with FreeBSD libc (see lib/libc/db/... and lib/libc/hash/...). I
don't understand why devel/apr1's license was changed if this feature is
enabled.

Multiple sources online clearly confirm that the licensing is BSD 4-clause.
Here's a breakdown of BDB's licensing history from Wikipedia:

> Starting with the 6.0.21 (Oracle 12c) release, all Berkeley DB products a=
re licensed under the GNU AGPL.[8][9] Previously, Berkeley DB was redistrib=
uted under the 4-clause BSD license (before version 2.0), and the Sleepycat=
 Public License, which is an OSI-approved open-source license as well as an=
 FSF-approved free software license.[10][11] The product ships with complet=
e source code, build script, test suite, and documentation. The comprehensi=
ve feature along with the licensing terms have led to its use in a multitud=
e of free and open-source software. Those who do not wish to abide by the t=
erms of the GNU AGPL, or use an older version with the Sleepycat Public Lic=
ense, have the option of purchasing another proprietary license for redistr=
ibution from Oracle Corporation. This technique is called dual licensing.

PS database/db18 is version 18, not version 1.85. BDB 18.x > 2.x, and is
clearly licensed under a copyleft license.
