Did you both miss Keith Bostic's answer about that part of the licence in <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ?
Perl has the same problem, and it could be solved in that case.
Keith Bostic :
This gives us some leeway, since we get to interpret what "using the software" means. For example, we have stated that Perl scripts aren't "using Berkeley DB"; the software that "uses" DB
is the Perl interpreter, not the Perl script.
If we state that NSS/Mozilla is the "user" of Berkeley DB, does that solve the problem?
