Which Oracle product is TubeMQ dependent on? From what I see, there are two distinct Oracle products, with different licenses:
Berkeley DB uses a Category X non-commercial license, which Justin points out is not an open source license. Berkeley DB Java Edition uses a standard Apache License, v2.0 with an additional license that appears to be the 3-clause BSD license for an embedded third-party component; both of which are Category A licenses. So if the project uses only Berkeley DB Java Edition, all is well. If it uses Berkeley DB then we have a problem. Regards, Craig > On Feb 18, 2021, at 1:46 PM, Daniel B.
