Re: [sqlite] Fossil Delta Compression in SqLite

I am far from an expert in this field myself so I don't know whether including it in the text section of the binary would be enough, and the main issue for me is when clients of mine redistribute middleware in their turn as I mentioned in an earlier post. But either way, Richard already

Re: [sqlite] Fossil Delta Compression in SqLite

You are welcomed to use the public-domain version of the delta encoding routines found in the SQLite source tree for whatever purpose you want, without attribution. I am the sole author of that code, and I am a citizen of a country that allows people to disavow intellectual property claims, so it

Re: [sqlite] Fossil Delta Compression in SqLite

As far as I can judge, you need to include the entire license - or at least the majority of it - in the documentation (not just a single line). For an end user product that's fine, but I would rather not have to ask clients to do so if I am distributing middleware simply because of a component

[sqlite] Fossil Delta Compression in SqLite

Hi all, I had a quick question regarding the licensing of the delta compression code found in the sqldiff and the RBU extensions for SqLite. I see that this code is extracted from Fossil, which is under the BSD license. But the header of the source files in the SqLite repository which
