It's trivially simple to construct terms that negate the effect of the 
previous ones. Like "Oh, by the way, all of what I've said before only 
applies after you make the huge payment specified here."

So, now you need to state what terms are permitted in the license of a 
derivative work, and what is excluded.

It's always license /combination./ This is especially relevant in the 
case of an LGPL-like license, as the user has the right to ask for /some 
/of the source of a proprietary derivative work, but not /all /of it.

Sleepycat is a trademark. You'd have to ask them.
