Hi, Yugo,

If you are only using Berkeley DB with respect to the Subversion
product, and you make no proprietary modifications to the Subversion
code and nothing in the application calls Berkeley DB directly, then you
would not need to pay for a commercial license. Thank you for checking.

Regards,
