Some software (e.g. Postfix) can use the last really-Berkeley db (1.85) which is unencumbered but anything that needs later features is screwed.
What software other than BDB are you aware of using the Sleepycat license?
@davidgerard @grumpybozo the relevant part is "with or without modification" - so that explicitly supports forking.
Of course as usual that is likely to run into the usual myths and fantasies people have about the mixing and "changing" of licences.

I made a typeface, it's called Flexflex 🔠I've been working on this project on-and-off for many months. Very happy to finally release it!
Flexflex is a typeface that responds to spatial requirements rather than imposing them. Built on a modular system, each letter can fit inside any given rectangular container and transforms continuously if its ratio changes. In theory, it's infinitely flexible.
For more information and interactive demos, see the website: ronikaufman.github.io/flexflex

This industry has been prioritizing "developer velocity" - whatever that means - over everything else for ages, and "everything else" has basically always included security, user protection and data safety; all an afterthought if they get a thought at all. Are sensible default security settings that aren't wide open read-all really that difficult, really? Are we just that lazy?

Ah the funny thing is, making your developers sit through the yearly basic GDPR training seems to a corporate standard nowadays.
As the GDPR dies not really change the good thing is that you can fast skip through all the videos and just select the correct answers on the idiotic mini quizzes.
So in the sense of CYA they expect their developers to do data security and privacy first design. Just that it would not cost any money or time.
