37Although almost all of the Zcash code is licensed under "permissive" open source
38licenses, users and distributors should note that when built using the default
39build options, Zcash depends on Oracle Berkeley DB, which includes the following
40license clause:
41
42 Redistributions in any form must be accompanied by information on
43 how to obtain complete source code for the DB software and any
44 accompanying software that uses the DB software. The source code
45 must either be included in the distribution or be available for no
46 more than the cost of distribution plus a nominal fee, and must be
47 freely redistributable under reasonable conditions. For an
48 executable file, complete source code means the source code for all
49 modules it contains. It does not include source code for modules or
50 files that typically accompany the major components of the operating
51 system on which the executable file runs.
