According to the README in the CDB archive, the CDB C source is public
domain, so if you strip out the docs, etc. you could put it in main.

Also, Exim uses a GPL'ed CDB.  From spec.txt.gz:

 .   Support for the cdb (Constant DataBase) lookup method is provided by code
     contributed by Nigel Metheringham of Planet Online Ltd. which contains
     the following statements:
     _________________________________________________________________________

     Copyright (c) 1998 Nigel Metheringham, Planet Online Ltd

     [GPL]

     This code implements Dan Bernstein's Constant DataBase (cdb) spec.
     Information, the spec and sample code for cdb can be obtained from
     http://www.pobox.com/~djb/cdb.html. This implementation borrows some code
     from Dan Bernstein's implementation (which has no license restrictions
     applied to it).
