See:

http://www.bioxray.dk/~mok/mmdb.php

quote:
This distribution is based on the last free version of mmdb, namely 1.09.
Eugene's latest version of mmdb (1.10) is licensed under the non-free CCP4 license.

The licensing, however, seems to have switched back to the LGPL:

http://www.ccp4.ac.uk/ccp4license.php

I can bring this issue up with those involved and see what the current status
is.  My hope is that the current fork will only be temporary.
