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 that I use internally and which they never see. It's a pretty big difference from public domain in that respect, though I realize that it is a difference that many people don't care about.

I would be curious to hear what the developers think about this, since this license differs from the rest of the SqLite codebase. Of course it is an extension so you don't need to include it, but I'm curious nonetheless.

Thanks in advance for any clarification.

Kind regards,

Philip Bennefall

One line of text in the documentation provided with the distribution doesn't 
seem burdensome. It's not like the advertising clause in the original BSD 
license... is that what you're thinking of?
