If not, it might be possible that we will keep private copies for some of the projects which depends on SQLite.
If you have a schedule for songbird, then I think you can use the SFE spec to build a copy of SQLite for your own use (while we are working on the shared SQLite ). I am not sure the processes for Indiana has been decided yet (whether OSR will be required is still unknown). IMO, if you do not put the binaries on Opensolaris download center, but somewhere else, you do not need to worry about the OSRs. --Irene > > cheers, > steve > >
