I remember that Mark Martinec mentioned a license change in Berkeley DB

Actually it was Wietse who said that, referring to postfix.
Regarding Amavis I said that the main reason for switching
BerkeleyDB to ZMQ message passing was lock contention and a
slowdown of a database after long use, requiring maintenance.
The license change was just an additional incentive for the
change. I may look at LMDB in the future, but the current
needs of Amavis are well served by ZMQ, and Redis (or SQL).
The LMDB would probably be more suitable for use by SpamAssassin.
I've been (slowly) hacking up a LMDB version of the Bayes DB for SA, but I
keep having to defer that for other work. So someone else may beat me to
it.
