Well, from the web site you now know that buying a license is not a requirement for ethical use of SQLite, because SQLite is public domain. The only reason licenses are sold is that some companies won't do anything without a record of legal entitlement. Ethical use of SQLite would be more like reporting bugs and/or contributing patches that fix bugs. Or helping other people figure out how to use it efficiently to do what they want.
