https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D269857 --- 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. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
