This document concerns +only changes and enhancements to SQLite that are intentionally and +deliberately contributed back to the SQLite website. +</p> + +<p> +For the purposes of this document, "SQLite software" shall mean any +computer source code, documentation, makefiles, test scripts, or +other information that is published on the SQLite website, +http://www.sqlite.org/. Precompiled binaries are excluded from +the definition of "SQLite software" in this document because the +process of compiling the software may introduce information from +outside sources which is not properly a part of SQLite. +</p> + +<p> +The header comments on the SQLite source files exhort the reader to +share freely and to never take more than one gives. +In the spirit of that exhortation I make the following declarations: +</p> + +<ol> +<li><p> +I dedicate to the public domain +any and all copyright interest in the SQLite software that +was publicly available on the SQLite website (http://www.sqlite.org/) prior +to the date of the signature below and any changes or enhancements to +the SQLite software +that I may cause to be published on that website in the future. +I make this dedication for the benefit of the public at large and +to the detriment of my heirs and successors.
