Comment 2 Michel Lind 2013-07-04 12:31:58 UTC
Note the license change in 6.0.20 to AGPL -- it might be worth discussing this in legal@ first

6.0.20 and 6.0.19 bring the _same_ source code, only the LICENSE file was changed.


And 6.0.19 is under the old license, the same as 5.3.21.

Comment 6 Honza Horak 2013-09-10 14:27:42 UTC
I haven't found any try to convince upstream to re-license back, so I tried:
https://forums.oracle.com/message/11183084#11183084

If there is a better place for requiring re-licensing, let's just put that request forward there. I know it's probably pointless, but I had to try before we start to port our tools to some other embedded databases.

Comment 7 Honza Horak 2013-11-06 11:53:55 UTC
Another interesting finding [1]:

FYI, some projects [0] are beginning to migrate to LMDB [1] .
Since the LMDB API is similar to BerkeleyDB.

Comment 12 Honza Horak 2014-05-15 15:27:44 UTC
I've created a bug report in openSUSE bugzilla to get some feedback from them, hopefully they provide their POV as well.

Anyway, according to Ondrej Sury from debian, guys there seem to be not shipping libdb-6 if not required by some package for its unique features (if there are any). Just FYI.

Debian started moving out of BDB (thread worth reading with some package-specific information):

This bug seems to be nice tracking bug for the future changes, so adding a KW and changing summary.

Please keep in mind that with any upstream change, there may also be packaging changes that need to be made. Specifically, please remember that it is your responsibility to review the new version to ensure that the licensing is still correct and that no non-free or legally problematic items have been added upstream.
