We would certainly need to verify it.

Oh, absolutely.  We'd need either a release from DJB, or some
incontrovertible evidence that he allows distribution of applications
incorporating some of the code.  The existence of Exim would seem to
imply that he has done so on at least that occasion, but that's not
strong enough, obviously.

I haven't looked at the free cdb implementation you mention, but if
it's adequate, we might as well avoid the hassle altogether and go with
that.
