I was just rethinking about the annoyance of not being able to do multiple write acess to the NSS database, and I just wondered if it wasn't likely there would exist somewhere an open source, dbm compatible database with multiple write access.
Either as an extension to te original source, or as an independant implementation with compatible interface.


It would be great it is were possible to use a newer version of Berkeley db that the 93 version included inside Mozilla, but Sleepycat Software's newer version include a clause of redistribution of complete source of the software ("For an executable file, complete source code means the source code for all modules it contains".) which is not compatible with NSS terms, and not even with the MPL (MPL distinguishes Larger Work and Covered Code, and you don't have to distribute the source for the Larger Work).

But they are so many *dbm implementation around that I'm really wondering if one wouldn't fit. I'm still searching though, I saw the sdbm, and mcvoy's mdbm name but don't have full information yet.
