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