&gt; Does anybody forsee any problem with switching the driver to use gnu's
&gt; dbm package, over the standard unix package?  The reason for this switch
&gt; is that there are a few os's which don't implement ndbm right, or buggy
&gt; (such as solaris), and centralizing on a readily available and free
&gt; package may help out some people...
&gt; 

What is the license (GPL) implication of this?  If you use the gnu
package then I think you have to make it available to the server
builders.  Isn't that the way GPL works?
