To which I'll add that the FSF considers this license free:
The Berkeley Database License (aka the Sleepycat Software Product
License).
This is a free software license and is compatible with the GNU GPL.
As found on:
http://www.fsf.org/licenses/license-list.html#GPLCompatibleLicenses
Sleepycat his published the following clarifications to their license:

If the cryptlib author would state that he agrees with sleepycat's
clarifications then I don't think there are any problems with this
license.
