    Our company wishes to use gdbm to manage a simple database in
our commercial product.

    Since gdbm would be linked into our product, does our product
then become free and subject to the terms of the license?

    If not: since gdbm would be linked into our program and we would
not be distributing the object modules, does section 3 of the license
apply?
