The BerkeleyDB, used between others by rpm [1], changed license

AGPLv3+ compatible, keep on using the older BerkeleyDB or use another DB
entirely.
Does that mean than any GPL+ package linked to libdb-6 will have to
change license to AGPLv3+? That would have significant impact not only
on packagers but also on users.
