-When Berkeley DB is distributed as part of the GNU system, the Berkeley
-DB license requirement that derivative works using Berkeley DB themselves
-be freely redistributable, does not apply to programs loading standard
-UNIX interfaces via the GNU C library and dynamically loading Berkeley DB
-support to obtain the underlying functionality.
+As a special exception, when Berkeley DB is distributed along with the
+GNU C Library, in any program which uses the GNU C Library in accord
+with that library's distribution terms, it is also permitted for
+Berkeley DB to be loaded dynamically by the GNU C Library to implement
+standard ISO/IEC 9945 (POSIX 1003) and Unix interface functionality.
