IANAL, but that is not a BSD license. It is the Sleepycat license,
which is compatible with GPL.

The giveaway is in section 3:

 * 3. Redistributions in any form must be accompanied by information on
 *how to obtain complete source code for the DB software and any
 *accompanying software that uses the DB software.

The '.. any accompanying software' clause makes it quite like the GPL.

I'm not a lawyer either, but I was active in reviewing and suggesting changes

A copyright owner always has the ability to relicense their code under other

 4. Versions of the License.

 Sun Microsystems, Inc. is the initial license steward and may publish revised 
 and/or new versions of this License from time to time. Each version will be 
 given a distinguishing version number. Except as provided in Section 4.3, no 
 one other than the license steward has the right to modify this License.
 
   • 4.2. Effect of New Versions.
 
 You may always continue to use, distribute or otherwise make the Covered 
 Software available under the terms of the version of the License under which 
 You originally received the Covered Software. If the Initial Developer 
 includes a notice in the Original Software prohibiting it from being 
 distributed or otherwise made available under any subsequent version of the 
 License, You must distribute and make the Covered Software available under 
 the terms of the version of the License under which You originally received 
 the Covered Software. Otherwise, You may also choose to use, distribute or 
 otherwise make the Covered Software available under the terms of any 
 subsequent version of the License published by the license steward.

If Oracle chooses, they might make future changes to the ZFS source code under 
different or more restrictive licensing terms, but what's available now is 
always going to be available.
