MaxDB is available under the GPL. That means as long as any derivative software you develop with MaxDB is *also* licensed under the GPL, you have no issue.
If you make modifications to MaxDB (or link against the MaxDB shared libraries) and destribute them *not* under the GPL, then you need a license.
Under no circumstances does *use* of MaxDB by you require a different license, as the licenses only cover *distribution* of MaxDB.
