+  Berkeley DB versions before and excluding 4.8 have been marked
+  deprecated.  Please see https://wiki.freebsd.org/Ports/BerkeleyDBCleanup
+  for upgrade instructions.
+
+  You can add WITH_BDB_VERSION=5 or WITH_BDB_VERSION=6 to have all
+  applications that get rebuilt use Oracle Berkeley DB 5 or 6, respectively.
+
+  Note that Oracle Berkeley DB 6 is under the more restrictive Affero GPL v3.
