I understand from the SessionTracking wiki that this product may use
BerkeleyDB

http://www.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Projects/CoreSessionTracking/CurrentStatus

The BerkeleyDB license at http://www.sleepycat.com/licensing.html
indicates that it may only be distributed free of charge with software
that is 'freely available and redistributable by others'.

We are currently using Zope to develop an application that does not
fall into this category. It would be a serious problem for us if
Zope's core had a dependency on code with this type of license.
