The Berkeley DB license is OSI Certified:

But the way Gervase interpreted you requirement, you would agree to include in NSS/Mozilla only with a restriction based on WHO uses the software or on WHAT they use it for which breaks either rule 5 or rule 6 of http://www.opensource.org/docs/definition.php.
I suffested an alternative, but I am afraid it breaks rule 8.
It depends on what is called a "distribution" and what is "extract from that distribution", does it mean the right to separate a software from a group of software, or does it mean the right to isolate any part of the source, and use it with the same rights as the whole.
I'm afraid this globally doesn't leave any way to make it work :-(
A distribution of NSS that includes GDB and doesn't break any of this rules would have to be restricted to be used under GPL, and no more MPL.
