SQLite Is 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.
