And the latter is really crucial and they could hardly switch to
anything else without losing credibility.
Sleepycat also has got an impressive customer list:

I'm running a custom-written database on top of Berkeley DB (which I
plan to migrate to PostgreSQL for the sake of ad-hoc queries), and I'm
not *that* concerned. I'm using Sleepycat's copyleft licensing
option, and nobody can take that copy away from me. Your mail servers
are probably similar: the copyleft license you already have is good
enough.
