It seems your right, everything is now owned by Oracle.
Does this mean you may have to find another DB for this purpose?
Berkeley DB in various forms is used by darned-near everyone. It's
a very standard format. Check whether it's open-source:
If so, it'll continue to be available for a long time to come.
If not, then it depends on whether Oracle continues to make it
available in a similar manner as before.
Berkeley DB is open source. From Oracle's website: Oracle Berkeley
DB is a family of open source, embeddable databases that allows
developers to incorporate within their applications a fast, scalable,
transactional database engine with industrial grade reliability and
availability.
It uses the Sleepycat public license rather than GPL.
