Control: tags -1 +upstream Hi Lionel,
we can't neither package BDB 6.x nor use patches from BDB 6.x as the loved-by-everyone Oracle company has changed the BDB license from SleepyCat to Affero GPL 3[1] which makes it incompatible with quite lot of software that uses it. Also we don't want every program using BDB to be suddenly relicensed to AGPL as there are some consequences for that. AGPL isn't really suited for low level libraries and I am quite sure that Oracle lawyers knew that...
