People have pointed out upthread that Oracle does not appear to be the sole copyright holder of BerkelyDB. So unless they had copyright assignments or similar on file, maybe a viable route would be to contact those additional copyright holders and suggest they complain to Oracle in order to get their relicensing reversed. This should probably be done in coordination with the wider Free Software community. Michael -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
