Well, if it's just used to run a commercial UCW website, you should be
fine, since you're not distributing BerkeleyDB. The Sleepycat license
is pretty clear about that, and the CEO even made the point in an
interview:

So for example, if MegaISPCorp downloads Berkeley DB and
uses it to build the authentication and user database for
their Web site, but it runs only inside their data center,
then they don't have to release their source code or pay us
any money. They're not shipping our code. None of the users
who visit MegaISPCorp's Web site need to release anything,
because they're not redistributing our software either.
