This page should prove enlightening: http://www.sleepycat.com/download/licensinginfo.shtml Looks like everything is under a BSD license.Actually, I found that page rather confusing, and not in line with how I thought the BSD license works.For example, if I understand what they are saying correctly, a web app running in a single co-lo is in the clear, but as soon as you set up a redundant or distributed system at multiple co-los you have to release your source code or purchase a license. That seems like an odd, and very arbitrary, restriction.
Wow! I should have looked more closely! I could have sworn the last time I checked their license, it was BSD derived. I apparently couldn't be more wrong. Thanks for catching that Kevin.
