It's not really open source in the strictest sense as they strangely refuse to provide any license for it and as far as I know they are not open to contributions either.
- lesuorac 2y agoI mean there's literally a LICENSE.txt file. https://sqlite.org/src/file?name=LICENSE.md&ci=trunk https://sqlite.org/src/file?name=LICENSE.md&ci=trunk Public Domain doesn't require a license though - https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html https://www.sqlite.org/copyright.html
- actionfromafar 2y agoIt gets kind of weird in jurisdictions without the legal concept of Public Domain though. But in practice I only see it treated basically the same as the MIT license.
