== Detailed Description ==
The BerkeleyDB, used between others by {{package|rpm}}, changed license between versions 5.* and 6.* to AGPLv3 from GPLv2. As those two licenses are not compatible, packages using the BerkeleyDB either has to change its license to AGPLv3 compatible, keep on using the older BerkeleyDB or use another DB entirely.
The BerkeleyDB, used between others by {{package|rpm}}, changed license between versions 5.* and 6.* from Sleepycat to AGPLv3+. As the latter license is more demanding, packages using the BerkeleyDB either has to check and possibly change its license to AGPLv3+ compatible, keep on using the older BerkeleyDB or use another DB entirely.


Target of this change is to create new set of packages from current {{package|libdb}}, which contains the v5 version, and keep it alongside the latest BerkeleyDB.
Target of this change is to create new set of packages from current {{package|libdb}}, which contains the v5 version, and keep it alongside the latest BerkeleyDB.
As simple mass rebuild with v6 would very likely introduce license incompatibilities, it will be necessary to update and verify all dependent packages to make sure they use the legally compatible version.

This change enables projects and packages to use BerkeleyDB with GPLv2 license, allowing them to work until the upstream makes their decision about the license change, and at the same time do not restricts projects which already adopted the BerkeleyDB with new license to the older versions of it.

* Proposal owners: Create new set of packages and introduce proper versioning in order to not confuse the dynamic linker.

* Other developers: Packages dependent on libdb would have to specify which version they want to use (specify version in the spec <code>Requires:</code> field). Rebuilds of dependent packages will be necessary.

Detailed Description

The BerkeleyDB, used between others by rpm, changed license between versions 5.* and 6.* from Sleepycat to AGPLv3+. As the latter license is more demanding, packages using the BerkeleyDB either has to check and possibly change its license to AGPLv3+ compatible, keep on using the older BerkeleyDB or use another DB entirely.

Target of this change is to create new set of packages from current libdb, which contains the v5 version, and keep it alongside the latest BerkeleyDB.

As simple mass rebuild with v6 would very likely introduce license incompatibilities, it will be necessary to update and verify all dependent packages to make sure they use the legally compatible version.

Benefit to Fedora

This change enables projects and packages to use BerkeleyDB with Sleepycat license, allowing them to work until the upstream makes their decision about the license change, and at the same time do not restricts projects which already adopted the BerkeleyDB with new license to the older versions of it.

Scope

  • Proposal owners: Create new set of packages and introduce proper versioning in order to not confuse the dynamic linker. Supervise verification of proper version linking against other packages.
  • Other developers: Packages dependent on libdb would have to specify which version they want to use (specify version in the spec Requires: field). They need to make sure their package links against the version with license compatible with their package. Rebuilds of dependent packages will be necessary.
  • Release engineering: None
  • Policies and guidelines: None

Upgrade/compatibility impact

If the versioning of the symbols will be implemented in the v5, user-built software linked against it will need to be rebuilt.

How To Test

Check if dependent projects builds, runs as expected and do not have license incompatibilities.

User Experience

None (ideally).
