     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.
