Perhaps it could be made into an alternative for _bsddb to make that
simpler (someone could even contribute code to let setup.py decide).

What's the license on the bsddb3 Python extension?

What's the license on the BerkeleyDB code from Sleepycat?  Can we
legally distribute RPMs or other binaries containing it?  (I thought
there were some restrictions that make it not open source.)
