Apologies for not being clear. I am in no way debating the merits of
either, nor expressing my opinion on the merits,

Something that needs be made abundantly clear is the GPL is *not* about
popularity. The GPL is about freedom (think freedom of speech, not
price). Even
There is a discussion over on HN

hundreds of independently sourced packages has many separate instances of
the GPL, that would begin to eat into SQLITE'S lead. But probably not
enough to win.
