absolutely not. We're not fans of public domain, which is one of the things that led us to create libSQL in the first place. It is MIT.

  Why not do both? Release as public domain or MIT license. Take your pick.

    The MIT license requires you to attribute the original authors, I would assume.

  What's wrong with public domain?
  • odo1242 2y ago
    Public domain rights differ across countries. So someone could put a work into the public domain and sue you in the one or two major countries where copyright can’t be disclaimed by the original author without a license, or where there isn’t legal precedent for it (this is purely theoretical and has never actually occurred before, it would also not be likely to succeed if it did happen). Also, it is technically possible for someone to claim public domain software as entirely their own work, while MIT requires attribution.

      Do you honestly believe any of the SQLite authors or its millions of users (especially deep-pocketed companies like Apple) lose any sleep at night over this?

        No. It’s only really an issue in theory.
