Si lees más abajo, donde explica la licencia
(http://www.sleepycat.com/download/licensinginfo.shtml):

"""
Do I have to pay for a Berkeley DB license to use it in my Perl or
Python scripts?

No, you may use the Berkeley DB open source license at no cost. The
Berkeley DB open source license requires that software that uses
Berkeley DB be freely redistributable. In the case of Perl or Python,
that software is Perl or Python, and not your scripts. Any scripts you
write are your property, including scripts that make use of Berkeley DB.
None of the Perl, Python or Berkeley DB licenses place any restrictions
on what you may do with them.
"""

Resumiendo, admite que sólo sea "Python" es el único "usuario" de la
base, obligando únicamente a hacer disponible el código del "Python", no
los scripts de tu aplicación.
