No code has been taken from other projects or from the open
internet. Every line of code can be traced back to its original
author, and all of those authors have public domain dedications
on file. So the SQLite code base is clean and is
uncontaminated with licensed code from other projects.
</p>
<h2>Obtaining A License To Use SQLite</h2>
<p>
If you are using SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize
the public domain, or if your legal department is uncomfortable with
the concept of the public domain, you can purchase a license to use
and distribute SQLite from <a href="http://www.hwaci.com/">Hwaci</a>,
the company that employees the architect and principal developers
of SQLite. For additional information on how to purchase a license
to use SQLite, please contact:

<h2>Obtaining An Explicit License To Use SQLite</h2>
<p>
Even though SQLite is in the public domain and does not require
a license, some users want to obtain a license anyway. Some reasons
for obtaining a license include:
</p>
<ul>
<li> You are using SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize
the public domain. </li>
<li> You are using SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize
the right of an author to dedicate their work to the public
domain. </li>
<li> You want to hold a tangible legal document
as evidence that you have the legal right to use and distribute
SQLite. </li>
<li> Your legal department tells you that you have to purchase a license.
</li>
</ul>
<p>
If you feel like you really have to purchase a license for SQLite,
<a href="http://www.hwaci.com/">Hwaci</a>, the company that employees
the architect and principal developers of SQLite, will sell you
one.
