I'd put this differently.

Given that you're considering rewriting the low-level storage code
anyway, and given that Berkeley DB offers a number of interesting
services, you should consider using it.

It may make sense for you to leverage the 9+ years of work in
Berkeley DB to save yourself a major reimplementation effort now.

We'd like you guys to make the decision on technical merit, so we
agreed to the license terms you require for PostgreSQL.
