Seems cool. Have you talked with the developers of SQLite to add your code to SQLite? (Difference in license may be an issue though.)


SQLite license is "public domain", which is unusual (weird) for a large project.

IIRC, that's ok in the US, but some other countries don't accept that.

Yeah, I remember that the creator and lead developer of SQLite once said that he wished he had chosen a proper license just because a lot of corporates raised issues due to the license.

(It was a weird issue that I had not come across before and that's why the licensing thing stuck in my mind).

I guess he found a way to fix it:

> The SQLite source code is in the public domain, and is free for use by anyone and for any purpose. No license is required. However, some users desire a license so that they can have warranty of title, or just because their company lawyers say they need one. A perpetual license and warranty of title for the core SQLite source code is available for this purpose.
