DB3 is a GPL-like library that is dual licensed. Nice library, very
hard to duplicate, has created a real business, pays the bills of the
authors, promotes development of free software.
I guess I do not agree with ostracizing libraries because someone
chooses to GPL it for whatever reasons they have.
