AGPLv3 and BSD-4-clause compatibility in the same source
Hi,
db 6.0.20 has been finally re-licensed to AGPLv3 and while doing license
check I have found some source files licensed under BSD-4-clause:
./src/os_windows/ce_mktime.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/strerror.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/atoi.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/qsort.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/strrchr.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/strdup.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/strcat.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/strcasecmp.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/strncmp.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/strchr.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/atol.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/strncat.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/strtol.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/strsep.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/clib/strtoul.c: BSD (4 clause)
./src/dbinc/queue.h: BSD (4 clause)
f.e. from qsort.c:

Since BSD-4-clause is not compatible with GPL do I understand it
correctly that they basically made Berkeley DB 6.0.20 indistributable by
us? Or am I missing something about mixing BSD-4-clause and AGPLv3?
O.
