I'm not a lawyer, but here are some hints:
* the license is controversial in this regard but the general consensus
seems to be that Oracle doesn't charge licensing fees from web sites
using BDB.
* they seem to have changed their licensing FAQ, but I remember the
old one saying that your app is not affected by BDB's license if
it is using a library that in turn uses BDB.
* to get more reliable information, write to berkeleydb-info...@oracle.com
Hope that helps...
