SQLite is public domain; the licensing terms of Berkeley DB[1] are not friendly to commercial applications: "Our open source license ... permits use of Berkeley DB in open source projects or in applications that are not distributed to third parties." I am not sure if using of PyBSDDB in commercial applications is considered "using of Berkeley DB in open source projects";

Wow, I hadn't realized that it was such a restrictive license. When I see "Berkeley" I think "BSD license".
