The Berkeley DB (JE) license information says:

"...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.... 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."

If I build an abstraction level on top of BDB JE, should I open source only that library or any software that uses BDB JE indirectly?
