I have not read their licensing terms, so I need to take your word
for it. You
are effectively saying that the Berkeley DB C edition is licensed
differently, and not in "to be identical in effect with the GPL"
terms. If it
is LGPL terms, and the Java native interface is (c) ASF &
committers, then
there is no issue.
No, I think that what Alex is saying is, there's no Sleepycat
dependency in the
ApacheDS code whatever. The JDBM interface he's using doesn't rely on
our
software.
In any case, the ASF is on solid footing here; no GPL-style licenses
are included
in the distribution (or at least, none are coming in from Sleepycat!).
