Issues in the mozilla/dbm directory:

- Makefile.in and Makefile.win need relicensing to the tri-licence.
- cdefs.h and mcom_db.h have both the tri-licence and the BSD-ish licence.
- We need to add notifications in the docs as the BSD licence requires.

biesi: I assume this code is currently used in mozilla.org products?

Gerv
yes, NSS uses it, afaik; and via that everything that uses gecko.
Fixed by reverting to the original BSD licence in those two cases. The
notification is not now necessary due to UCB revoking the requirement.
