Actually there were other reasons that Berkeley db support was disabled, so
that was a bad example :(
IANAL, but I'm pretty sure that there are no requirements placed on you by
merely using the Berkeley db libraries already installed on the end-user's
system. Bundling Berkeley db support in a product would be a completely
different issue however, and would require either licensing fees to be paid or
source code of the product to be published. But none of this issue with
Berkeley db seems to be apr's problem.
