There are two licenses: One that they call the "open source license", see http://www.sleepycat.com/license.net There is also a commercial license. > Can we legally distribute RPMs or other binaries containing it?

This is the condition: # Redistributions in any form must be accompanied by information on # how to obtain complete source code for the DB software and any # accompanying software that uses the DB software. The source code # must either be included in the distribution or be available for no # more than the cost of distribution plus a nominal fee, and must be # freely redistributable under reasonable conditions. So distributing Python itself should be no problem. It appears that the Pythonlabs distribution still uses DB 1.85. Don't tell that Skip :-) He believes that this version has serious flaws that can lead to data corruption... Regards, Martin
