+The original author of SQLite has dedicated the code to the public domain. +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, commerical or non-commerical, and by any means. +
+ ++In order to keep SQLite complete free and unencumbered by copyright, +other contributors to the SQLite code base are asked to likewise dedicate +their contributions to the public domain. +If you want to send a patch or enhancement for possible inclusion in the +SQLite source tree, please accompany the patch with the following statement: +
+ ++The author or authors of this code dedicate any and all copyright interest +in this code to the public domain. We make this dedication for the benefit +of the public at large and to the detriment of our heirs and successors. +We intend this dedication to be an overt act of relinquishment in +perpetuity of all present and future rights this code under copyright law. ++ +
+Regrettably, as of 2003 October 20, +we will no longer be able to accept patches or changes to +SQLite that are not accompanied by a statement such as the above. +In addition, if you make +changes or enhancements as an employee, then a simple statement such as the +above is insufficient. You must also send by surface mail a copyright release +signed by a company officer. +A signed original of the copyright release should be mailed to:
+ ++Hwaci+ +
+6200 Maple Cove Lane
+Charlotte, NC 28269
+USA +
+A template copyright release is available +in PDF or +HTML. +You can use this release to make future changes. If you have contributed +changes or enhancements to SQLite in the past, and have not already done +so, you are invited to complete and sign a copy of the template and mail +it to the address above. +
