This topic has come up a number of times in the past decade. :-)
Would it be reasonable to try and solve this problem once and
for all?
Sleepycat Software is (of course!) happy to have Mozilla use
Berkeley DB in any way at all. Our only concern would be in
granting blanket rights to companies developing proprietary
products as part of granting rights to the Mozilla group.
Wouldn't it be possible to put together a license that spelled
that out?
