Hi,

latest, 2.2.0 and 2.2.1, quartz distributions contain THIRD-PARTY-LICENSES.txt file in which quartz dependency on Berkeley DB is mentioned:

Code:
(11) Certain components of Terracotta's software use the Oracle Berkeley DB; in 
 accordance with the Open Source License for Oracle Berkeley DB Java Edition listed 
 below, the source code for those components and the DB software are available for
 free at:

Does quartz really use Berkeley DB? Does this means that any software which is using Quartz will have to pay for Berkely BD licence if redistribution of own source code is not an option?

Thx,
Nikola
