It's the same one.  Robin Dunn's original module used SWIG to wrap the
BerkeleyDB API, and I offered to rewrite the interface as a
hand-written extension module, which is why my name turns up.

(Adding my name to the copyright seemed unjustified to me at the time,
though; writing the extension was mostly a trivial process of
rearranging Robin's SWIG definitions with some Emacs/elisp work.)
