Berkeley DB is Open Source. It's free for use in other Open Source
projects, like PostgreSQL. If a developer wants to use it in a
proprietary application, then the developer needs to pay Sleepycat a
licensing fee -- that's how we make our living. But Open Source
projects don't have to pay us anything. You can download the full
package from our Web site at www.sleepycat.com.

GPL'ness of gnucash?
