SQLite Is Public Domain

+ +
+
+
+SQLite is in the
+Public Domain +
+
+ +

+All of the code and documentation in SQLite has been dedicated to the +public domain +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 Hwaci. 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. +

+ +

+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. +

+ +

+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. +

+ + + +

Open-Source, not Open-Contribution

+ +

+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. + +

+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. + + + + +

+
+ +
+
+ +

Warranty of Title

+ +

+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: +

+ + + +

+If any of the above circumstances apply to you, +Hwaci, the company that employs +all the developers of SQLite, will +sell you +a Warranty of Title for SQLite. +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. +

+ +

Contributed Code

+ +

+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. +
