SQLite Copyright

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. 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.
