The license for compat-db is defined as BSDish in the compat-db.spec, so
I assume the same for the db4. The GPL as a license for db4 was probably
set in the spec file by mistake at least since RHL-7.2 as far as I can
see from CVS.

I had a look into the LICENSE file for both compat-db and db4 and they
both seem to have BSD styled licenses:

http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php

IANAL though.
