The /usr/include/db.h says:

@(#)$RCSfile: db.h,v $ $Revision: 1.1.4.2 $ (DEC) $Date: 1997/06/24 18:33:38
[..]
@(#)db.h        8.7 (Berkeley) 6/16/94

Not sure about /usr/lib/libdb.a, except it's a symbolic link to
/usr/ccs/lib/libdb.a.

Many, sure. Obviously not all...

This is a write-once, read-many situation. I appreciate there might be
risks, but right now the included libdb is "good enough for government
work."
