Copy/paste

Versions 2.0 and higher of Berkeley DB are available under a dual
license (see http://www.sleepycat.com/download/licensinginfo.shtml).
Versions earlier than 2.0 are available under the BSD license, which
means free use commercially


Asterisk, like glibc, cannot use those later versions and uses 1.x .
Check the docs more carefully.

Still, 1000-s of records shouldn't be a problem.
