+ AUTHOR: mandree@FreeBSD.org
+
+ Berkeley DB versions before and excluding 4.8 have been marked
+ deprecated. Please see https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/BerkeleyDBCleanup
+ for upgrade instructions.
+
+ You can add WITH_BDB_VERSION=5 or WITH_BDB_VERSION=6 to have all
+ applications that get rebuilt use Oracle Berkeley DB 5 or 6, respectively.
+
+ Note that Oracle Berkeley DB 6 is under the more restrictive Affero GPL v3.
