     5         kx 
     5         kx    All of the deliverable code in SQLite has been dedicated to the public domain by the authors. All code authors, and
     5         kx    representatives of the companies they work for, have signed affidavits dedicating their contributions to the public domain
     5         kx    and originals of those signed affidavits are stored in a firesafe at the main offices of Hwaci. Anyone is free to copy,
     5         kx    modify, publish, use, compile, sell, or distribute the original SQLite code, either in source code form or as a compiled
     5         kx    binary, for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, and by any means.
     5         kx 
     5         kx    The previous paragraph applies to the deliverable code in SQLite - those parts of the SQLite library that you actually
     5         kx    bundle and ship with a larger application. Portions of the documentation and some code used as part of the build process
     5         kx    might fall under other licenses. The details here are unclear. We do not worry about the licensing of the documentation
     5         kx    and build code so much because none of these things are part of the core deliverable SQLite library.
     5         kx 
     5         kx    All of the deliverable code in SQLite has been written from scratch. No code has been taken from other projects or from
     5         kx    the open internet. Every line of code can be traced back to its original author, and all of those authors have public
     5         kx    domain dedications on file. So the SQLite code base is clean and is uncontaminated with licensed code from other projects.
     5         kx 
     5         kx Obtaining An Explicit License To Use SQLite
     5         kx 
     5         kx    Even though SQLite is in the public domain and does not require a license, some users want to obtain a license anyway.
     5         kx    Some reasons for obtaining a license include:
     5         kx 
     5         kx      * You are using SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the public domain.
     5         kx      * You are using SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the right of an author to dedicate their work to the
     5         kx        public domain.
     5         kx      * You want to hold a tangible legal document as evidence that you have the legal right to use and distribute SQLite.
     5         kx      * Your legal department tells you that you have to purchase a license.
     5         kx 
     5         kx    If you feel like you really have to purchase a license for SQLite, Hwaci, the company that employs the architect and
     5         kx    principal developers of SQLite, will sell you one.
     5         kx 
     5         kx Contributed Code
     5         kx 
     5         kx    In order to keep SQLite completely free and unencumbered by copyright, all new contributors to the SQLite code base are
     5         kx    asked to dedicate their contributions to the public domain. If you want to send a patch or enhancement for possible
     5         kx    inclusion in the SQLite source tree, please accompany the patch with the following statement:
     5         kx 
     5         kx      The author or authors of this code dedicate any and all copyright interest in this code to the public domain. We make
     5         kx      this dedication for the benefit of the public at large and to the detriment of our heirs and successors. We intend this
     5         kx      dedication to be an overt act of relinquishment in perpetuity of all present and future rights to this code under
     5         kx      copyright law.
     5         kx 
     5         kx    We are not able to accept patches or changes to SQLite that are not accompanied by a statement such as the above. In
     5         kx    addition, if you make changes or enhancements as an employee, then a simple statement such as the above is insufficient.
     5         kx    You must also send by surface mail a copyright release signed by a company officer. A signed original of the copyright
     5         kx    release should be mailed to:
     5         kx 
     5         kx      Hwaci
     5         kx      6200 Maple Cove Lane
     5         kx      Charlotte, NC 28269
     5         kx      USA
     5         kx 
     5         kx    A template copyright release is available in PDF or HTML. You can use this release to make future changes.
