Sqlite is public domain. You're free to develop public domain software on your own. However, you're not likely toever see a penny for your efforts.
You're free to change the argument any new conclusion you wish. Short of waiting seventy five years after its creation, it is difficult to place a work in the "public domain". You must somehow unequivocally and publicly relinquish all claims of ownership. Some Circuits would probably disagree with that broad assertion. I was comparing "Free Software licensed code" and "permissively licensed code". So what is the point you wish to make?
