Copyright Release for<br>
|
|
Contributions To SQLite
|
|
</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
SQLite is software that implements an embeddable SQL database engine.
|
|
SQLite is available for free download from http://www.sqlite.org/.
|
|
The principal author and maintainer of SQLite has disclaimed all
|
|
copyright interest in his contributions to SQLite
|
|
and thus released his contributions into the public domain.
|
|
In order to keep the SQLite software unencumbered by copyright
|
|
claims, the principal author asks others who may from time to
|
|
time contribute changes and enhancements to likewise disclaim
|
|
their own individual copyright interest.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Because the SQLite software found at http://www.sqlite.org/ is in the
|
|
public domain, anyone is free to download the SQLite software
|
|
from that website, make changes to the software, use, distribute,
|
|
or sell the modified software, under either the original name or
|
|
under some new name, without any need to obtain permission, pay
|
|
royalties, acknowledge the original source of the software, or
|
|
in any other way compensate, identify, or notify the original authors.
|
|
Nobody is in any way compelled to contribute their SQLite changes and
|
|
enhancements back to the SQLite website. This document concerns
|
|
only changes and enhancements to SQLite that are intentionally and
|
|
deliberately contributed back to the SQLite website.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
For the purposes of this document, "SQLite software" shall mean any
|
|
computer source code, documentation, makefiles, test scripts, or
|
|
other information that is published on the SQLite website,
|
|
http://www.sqlite.org/. Precompiled binaries are excluded from
|
|
the definition of "SQLite software" in this document because the
|
|
process of compiling the software may introduce information from
|
|
outside sources which is not properly a part of SQLite.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
The header comments on the SQLite source files exhort the reader to
|
|
share freely and to never take more than one gives.
|
|
In the spirit of that exhortation I make the following declarations:
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<ol>
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
I dedicate to the public domain
|
|
any and all copyright interest in the SQLite software that
|
|
was publicly available on the SQLite website (http://www.sqlite.org/) prior
|
|
to the date of the signature below and any changes or enhancements to
|
|
the SQLite software
|
|
that I may cause to be published on that website in the future.
|
|
I make this dedication for the benefit of the public at large and
|
|
to the detriment of my heirs and successors. I intend this
|
|
dedication to be an overt act of relinquishment in perpetuity of
|
|
all present and future rights to the SQLite software under copyright
|
|
law.
|
|
</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
To the best of my knowledge and belief, the changes and enhancements that
|
|
I have contributed to SQLite are either originally written by me
|
|
or are derived from prior works which I have verified are also
|
|
in the public domain and are not subject to claims of copyright
|
|
by other parties.
|
|
</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
To the best of my knowledge and belief, no individual, business, organization,
|
|
government, or other entity has any copyright interest
|
|
in the SQLite software as it existed on the
|
|
SQLite website as of the date on the signature line below.
|
|
</p></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><p>
|
|
I agree never to publish any additional information
|
|
to the SQLite website (by CVS, email, scp, FTP, or any other means) unless
|
|
that information is an original work of authorship by me or is derived from
|
|
prior published versions of SQLite.
|
|
I agree never to copy and paste code into the SQLite code base from
|
|
other sources.
|
|
I agree never to publish on the SQLite website any information that
|
|
would violate a law or breach a contract.
