That's an interesting question.  What's the appropriate list to
ask this kind of question on ?  I've a similar one.  /usr/lib/libstdc++*
is GPL'd, which is pretty much similar licensing conditions as the
sleepycat db2 one.  At least, that's what
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-current/src/gnu/dist/libstdc++/Makefile.in
says.

So, if NetBSD's acceptability rules for non-gratis-license libraries say
that they can't be in the base distribution, then libstdc++ 
needs to be kicked out too.  That would make it rather
difficult to build groff from the base unless we revert to a
very much older toolchain.  Perhaps that question wants to asked
on tech-toolchain (which I'm not on)?
