This is taken from http://www.sleepycat.com/licensing.html: If you redistribute your application outside of your site and your source code is not freely available and redistributable by others, then you require a commercial license from Sleepycat Software. This means that the software's presence in FreeBSD makes FreeBSD unsuitable for building and selling a black box solution. Ciao, Sheldon.
