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. + +<a name="warrantyoftitle"></a> + + +<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. +<p align="center"><small><i>This page last modified on <a href="https://sqlite.org/docsrc/honeypot" id="mtimelink" data-href="https://sqlite.org/docsrc/finfo/pages/copyright.in?m=19090139cc">2022-04-18 02:55:50</a> UTC </small></i></p> + |
