Has there been much agitation for (or serious attempts at) forking SQLite? That's probably the real test of the stewardship of an open source project.

- justinclift 6y agoNothing springs to mind, as of yet. However, with the very latest release series (3.32.x), one of the pieces ("SQLITE_HAS_CODEC") used by third party encryption libraries (eg SQLCipher, various others) was removed without notice. https://sqlite.org/forum/forumpost/a48e4672da https://sqlite.org/forum/forumpost/a48e4672da There does seem to be a way forward, via reimplementing the encryption as a SQLite VFS. If that didn't exist though, then some kind of forking would be on the cards.
