The LGPLv2+ libguestfs.so library does not link to libgdbm.so. So AFAICT,
the libgdbm.so dependancy in the libguestfs RPM is solely for the generated
appliance image which runs in the QEMU guest, and thus has no bearing on
the libguestfs.so license.
CC'ing rjones to confirm.
What Dan says here is correct.
