Sleepycat License

The Berkeley Database License (formerly Sleepycat Software Product License ) (English license: "License") is an Oracle (formerly Sleepycat Software, Inc. ) issued free software license. It was originally used for the Berkeley DB. The OSI has recognized it as an open- source license.

The license is a strong form of copyleft. So requires that the disclosure in any form the source not only of standing under the Sleepcat license software, but also any accompanying software that uses the former implies.

According to the Free Software Foundation, she qualifies as a free software license and is GPL compatible. This means that the disclosure of the source code of the accompanying software may be included in the GPL.
