File mt19937db.c included in the BerkeleyDB package is licensed under the Artistic License, which is non-free. Rubén has asked for a GPL version of this file, to which the authors have agreed [1]. When they post it, we can replace the non-free file with it.

Affected packages are every version of db and probably the same additional packages as in deltah (see #29839). I haven't checked this yet.
