We need the signed Contributors Agreement (CA) so that we can prove that your code is open source if that fact is ever disputed. All CAs are kept in a (physical) file in the firesafe here at the SQLite.org headquarters. The CA says, in essence, "yes my contributions to this project are open-source too". CAs are common practice for all (non-GPL) open-source software. You must sign a CA before contributing to any apache foundation project, for example. Print the document onto paper, then sign the piece of paper, then scan the paper and email me the scan. -- D.
