I went by the press release:

| Starting with the 6.0 / 12c releases, all Berkeley DB products are
| licensed under the GNU AFFERO GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE (AGPL), version
| 3. This license is published by the Free Software Foundation (FSF)
| (1) and approved by the Open Source Initiative (2).  Please review
| the terms of the license to ensure compliance before upgrading to
| the 12c release. Previous releases of Berkeley DB software will
| continue to be distributed under the Sleepycat license.

Not sure why this isn't reflected in the tarball.
