> OP is wrong, SQLite does match the requirements outlined in the OSI's definition: https://opensource.org/osd https://opensource.org/osd
OSI also says Public Domain is not open source: Public Domain Is Not Open Source https://opensource.org/blog/public-domain-is-not-open-source https://opensource.org/blog/public-domain-is-not-open-source
- wakawaka28 2y agoI skimmed over both of those links and it seems that there are in fact no aspects of the definition that could be challenged with public domain software. The second one is all over the place (the author even says he's not a lawyer!) but it seems focused on the fact that public domain rights are not recognized the same in every country. SQLite has other licenses you can use for those situations. The idea that this project is not truly open source seems silly.
