One thing worth looking into would be to build ypserv with qdbm which
according to the License tag is LGPLv2+.
See attached patch -- it is just for demonstration purposes
(ugly/fragile) but it does build successfully in my Rawhide mock. I
haven't tested it beyond building at all, I don't even use ypserv. If
it works, perhaps ypserv upstream would be interested in properly
integrating support for qdbm as a third alternative to gdbm and ndbm.
Possible upgrade caveat from qdbm-devel's hovel(3) man page:
"Hovel cannot handle database files made by the original GDBM."
