There are some other candidates that the DB PMC could look into incubating and adopting. For example, http://axion.tigris.org/ is a rather obvious candidate, especially considering the committer list (geir jvanzyl mpoeschl rwald).
I would personally recommend to ask the hsqldb guys (http://hsqldb.sf.net) whether they would donate their code. The license could possibly be changed. Hsqldb is more featured than axion and possibly more mature.
