No, I think that what Alex is saying is, there's no Sleepycat
dependency in the
ApacheDS code whatever. The JDBM interface he's using doesn't rely on
our
software.

In any case, the ASF is on solid footing here; no GPL-style licenses
are included
in the distribution (or at least, none are coming in from Sleepycat!).
