If I read this correctly:

"Do I have to pay for a Berkeley DB license to use it in my Perl or 
Python scripts?

No, you may use the Berkeley DB open source license at no cost. The 
Berkeley DB open source license requires that software that uses 
Berkeley DB be freely redistributable. In the case of Perl or Python, 
that software is Perl or Python, and not your scripts. Any scripts you 
write are your property, including scripts that make use of Berkeley DB. 
None of the Perl, Python or Berkeley DB licenses place any restrictions 
on what you may do with them."

I can use any of the Berkeley DB products to back my web service without 
paying for it. Am I missing something?
