Why should it be? *IF* the authors chose to license it to you in a way, which *only* allows you to incorporate it into Programs with GPL compatible licenses, it should be respected. > - 1.

I don't see Ensim released as GPL. He has to link the database *somehow* into his program. Look up what the GPL has to say about that.
