Had no idea that SQLite is actually created/"owned" by a company, I figured it was just a group of people or small foundation that was sponsored by a lot of companies. I find it kinda funny that in the same page where they list SQLite as one of their products[0] they also have a Java applet from 1996 where you move blocks around to get one of them in the right spot[1]. It's pretty fun though, works great with the CheerpJ Applet Runner extension for chromium.

- skrebbel 6y agoYou might enjoy this interview with the creator Richard Hipp: https://changelog.com/podcast/201 https://changelog.com/podcast/201 They go in-depth, not only wrt how and why SQLite happens, but also how it's possible that it's in the public domain and still built by a (mildly) profitable company with employees and all. I found it a very inspiring listen.
