This is sad. It is clear that the SQLite creator's heart was with the previous version of the CoC, and that although the CoC was only obligatory for developers, other people from outside came and forced their politics on the owners of the project.
- archagon 8y agoIn what sense? What kind of power do you suppose they had to do this?

- dwaltrip 8y agoAs a developer, the old CoC is a pretty massive turn off for me. Even if I was a Christian, I think it I would still find it quite out of place. I can't think of anything that is gained by attempting to proselytize through the development process of a widely used, very general purpose software project. Perhaps viewing it as "proselytizing" is not exactly right, but it is certainly taking some kind of stand. To be fair, I've never contributed to SQLite. I also don't condone any nasty attacks against the project owners -- that is inexcusable. I'm sure they didn't have bad intentions. But as they say, the road to hell is paved with good intentions.
