Latest versions (from Oracle which now owns it) have a BSD-derived
license with a GPL-like "you must offer to provide the source" clause:
  
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/htdocs/oslicense.html

BTW, since people have talked about size: Depending on how you build you
can shave a bit more from OpenLDAP than I've seen quoted here.  Still
quite a chunk though - I get 2.9M on RedHat i686.  Only the bdb backend.
Remove overlays, static libs, some mostly-superfluous clients, manpages
for removed stuff.  CFLAGS=-Os.  (Most of it can be restored as dynamic
modules from non-base packages.)
