- CodesInChaos 4y agoedit: The page also contains the stronger statement wmanley quoted, so it wasn't a misleading quote as I initially assumed. I counted a total of 5 committers in the last year, so it does indeed look like SQLite does not accept outside contributions at all, even with a public domain dedication. That page says: > the project does not accept patches from people who have not submitted an affidavit dedicating their contribution into the public domain which is quite different from your shortened quote. This sounds similar to the CLA many projects require for contributions. How many outside contributions does SQLite accept in practice?
- notRobot 4y ago> How many outside contributions does SQLite accept in practice? Zero, afaik.
- wmanley 4y agoI copy-pasted the quote from "Contributed Code" on that page.
- retcore 4y agoContracts, known as effective contracts, create real terms via implicit intentions of action. This is most clearly declared a part of legal canon whenever you write "Copyright... All Rights Reserved." Without reservation implied licensing is presumed.
