+<h2>SQLite Is Public Domain</h2>
+
+<div class="rightsidebar desktoponly">
+<center>
+<img src="images/nocopy.gif"><br>
+SQLite is in the<br>
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Domain">Public Domain</a>
+</center>
+</div>
+
+<p>
+All of the code and documentation in SQLite has been dedicated to the
+<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_Domain">public domain</a>
+by the authors.
+All code authors, and representatives of the companies they work for,
+have signed affidavits dedicating their contributions to
+the public domain and originals of
+those signed affidavits are stored in a firesafe at the main offices
+of <a href="https://www.hwaci.com">Hwaci</a>. All contributors are citizens
+of countries that allow creative works to be dedicated into the public
+domain.
+Anyone is free to copy, modify, publish, use, compile, sell, or distribute
+the original SQLite code, either in source code form or as a compiled binary,
+for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, and by any means.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+The previous paragraph applies to the deliverable code and documentation
+in SQLite - those parts of the SQLite library that you actually bundle and
+ship with a larger application. Some scripts used as part of the
+build process (for example the "configure" scripts generated by autoconf)
+might fall under other open-source licenses. Nothing from these build
+scripts ever reaches the final deliverable SQLite library, however, and
+so the licenses associated with those scripts should not be
+a factor in assessing your rights to copy and use the SQLite library.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+All of the deliverable code in SQLite has been written from scratch.
+No code has been taken from other projects or from the open
+internet. Every line of code can be traced back to its original
+author, and all of those authors have public domain dedications
+on file. So the SQLite code base is clean and is
+uncontaminated with licensed code from other projects.
+</p>
+
+<a name="notopencontrib"></a>
+
+<h2>Open-Source, not Open-Contribution</h2>
+
+<p>
+SQLite is open-source, meaning that you can make as many copies of it as
+you want and do whatever you want with those copies, without limitation.
+But SQLite is not open-contribution. In order to keep SQLite in the public
+domain and ensure that the code does not become contaminated with proprietary
+or licensed content, the project does not accept patches from people who
+have not submitted an affidavit dedicating their contribution into the
+public domain.
+
+<p>
+All of the code in SQLite is original, having been written
+specifically for use by SQLite. No code has been copied from unknown
+sources on the internet.

+<div class="rightsidebar">
+<form method="GET" action="https://www.sqlite.org/purchase/license">
+<input type="submit" value="Buy An SQLite License">
+</form>
+</div>
+
+<h2>Warranty of Title</h2>
+
+<p>
+SQLite is in the public domain and does not require a license.
+Even so, some organizations want legal proof of their right to use
+SQLite. Circumstances where this might occurs include the following:
+</p>
+
+<ul>
+<li> Your company desires indemnity against claims of copyright infringement.
+<li> You are using SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize
+ the public domain. </li>
+<li> You are using SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize
+ the right of an author to dedicate their work to the public
+ domain. </li>
+<li> You want to hold a tangible legal document
+ as evidence that you have the legal right to use and distribute
+ SQLite. </li>
+<li> Your legal department tells you that you must purchase a license.
+ </li>
+</ul>
+
+<p>
+If any of the above circumstances apply to you,
+<a href="https://www.hwaci.com/">Hwaci</a>, the company that employs
+all the developers of SQLite, will
+<a href="https://www.sqlite.org/purchase/license">sell you
+a Warranty of Title for SQLite</a>.
+A Warranty of Title is a legal document that asserts that the claimed
+authors of SQLite are the true authors, and that the authors
+have the legal right to dedicate the SQLite to the public domain, and
+that Hwaci will vigorously defend against challenges to those claims.
+All proceeds from the sale of SQLite Warranties of Title are used to fund
+continuing improvement and support of SQLite.
+</p>
+
+<h2>Contributed Code</h2>
+
+<p>
+In order to keep SQLite completely free and unencumbered by copyright,
+the project does not accept patches. If you would like to suggest a
+change and you include a patch as a proof-of-concept, that would
+be great. However, please do not be offended if we rewrite your patch
+from scratch.
