Am I right that I can't use elephant+bdb in closed source commercial
application without purchasing licence?

IANAL, but my reading is that if you ship a closed source product you
need a license for Berkeley DB.  If you have a service/web site (like
Google, Yahoo, etc) my reading is that you do not need a license for
Berkeley DB.

I think that Sleepycat, now Oracle clarified that distinction and that any public-facing for-profit website needs a license. Robert may have more to say on this topic.
