According to David's recent blog http://weblogs.java.net/blog/davidvc/archive/2006/11/oracle_benchmar_1.html "The BDB license is clear: if your product that uses BDB is closed-source, or you want indemnification, then you need to us pony up $$$ for the commercial license. If your product is open source, you can use the BDB open source license, which is a variant of a BSD license." So if your project is BSD also, shouldn't you be able to use BDB in it? -- dt
