-Here are a few words taken from the Berkeley DB FAQ (at

- Do I have to license DB to use it in Perl scripts?

- No. The Berkeley DB license requires that software that uses

- software is Perl, and not your scripts. Any Perl scripts that you
- write are your property, including scripts that make use of
- Berkeley DB. Neither the Perl license nor the Berkeley DB license
- place any restriction on what you may do with them.

-If you are in any doubt about the license situation, contact either the
-Berkeley DB authors or the author of DB_File. See L<"AUTHOR"> for details.
