SQLITE-LICENSE (1506B)
1 SQLite Is Public Domain 2 3 All of the code and documentation in SQLite has been dedicated to the public 4 domain by the authors. All code authors, and representatives of the companies 5 they work for, have signed affidavits dedicating their contributions to the 6 public domain and originals of those signed affidavits are stored in a firesafe 7 at the main offices of Hwaci. Anyone is free to copy, modify, publish, use, 8 compile, sell, or distribute the original SQLite code, either in source code 9 form or as a compiled binary, for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, 10 and by any means. 11 12 The previous paragraph applies to the deliverable code and documentation in 13 SQLite - those parts of the SQLite library that you actually bundle and ship 14 with a larger application. Some scripts used as part of the build process (for 15 example the "configure" scripts generated by autoconf) might fall under other 16 open-source licenses. Nothing from these build scripts ever reaches the final 17 deliverable SQLite library, however, and so the licenses associated with those 18 scripts should not be a factor in assessing your rights to copy and use the 19 SQLite library. 20 21 All of the deliverable code in SQLite has been written from scratch. No code 22 has been taken from other projects or from the open internet. Every line of 23 code can be traced back to its original author, and all of those authors have 24 public domain dedications on file. So the SQLite code base is clean and is 25 uncontaminated with licensed code from other projects.
