This is not a true open source version. Oracle is not friendly to
open source. In your link below you have to "sign in" to get the
source code.
Note that Arch and Debian also use version 5.3.28.

So the GPL license is not an open source version? I beg to differ
*Affero* GPL is problematic. For example, in BLFS we have PHP linked to
Berkeley DB. If PHP is linked to an AGPL Berkeley DB, and you serve
a website
with this PHP build, then technically *everyone* who has viewed your
website can
demend a copy of the PHP source code of your entire website. It
would be
illegal to refuse them.
Then those who don't want to give the source code of the entire
website will
have to pay some money to Oracle.
That is NOT what the license states:
* The GNU Affero General Public License is designed specifically to
* ensure that, in such cases, the modified source code becomes available
* to the community. It requires the operator of a network server to
* provide the source code of the modified version running there to the
* users of that server. Therefore, public use of a modified version, on
* a publicly accessible server, gives the public access to the source
* code of the modified version.
*
* An older license, called the Affero General Public License and
* published by Affero, was designed to accomplish similar goals. This is
* a different license, not a version of the Affero GPL, but Affero has
* released a new version of the Affero GPL which permits re-licensing
under
* this license.

You see it is talking about modifications to Berkley db, I see no
reference in the license about anything other than the db. According
to your explanation if i read correctly.....if you host on a ms
windows server you would then need to provide the source and
executables for windows 10, that is absurd
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, if you modify the
Program, your modified version must prominently offer all users
interacting with it remotely through a computer network (if your version
supports such interaction) an opportunity to receive the Corresponding
Source of your version by providing access to the Corresponding Source
from a network server at no charge, through some standard or customary
means of facilitating copying of software. This Corresponding Source
shall include the Corresponding Source for any work covered by version 3
of the GNU General Public License that is incorporated pursuant to the
following paragraph.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have permission
to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed under version 3
of the GNU General Public License into a single combined work, and to
convey the resulting work. The terms of this License will continue to
apply to the part which is the covered work, but the work with which it
is combined will remain governed by version 3 of the GNU General Public
License.
