Thanks very much for that information, Richard! :)
I don't know if it would make any difference legally, but perhaps this
could be made explicit in the comments?
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
Philip

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 is possible for me to say this.

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,

Only the requirement for attribution in binaries. That can be

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?
