> All of the deliverable code in SQLite has been written from scratch. No code has been taken from other projects or from the open internet. Every line of code can be traced back to its original author, and all of those authors have public domain dedications on file. So the SQLite code base is clean and is uncontaminated with licensed code from other projects. The reasoning is sound. I actually really appreciate the public domain licensing. I've always used MIT since it seemed the closest, but public domain is the most pure in my opinion. You can literally do anything with it. Good on the authors for following through on this vision, even if it means having to do more things on their own.
