This would be a problem for any citizen of Germany or Austria that wanted to contribute code to the SQLite project. I cannot see that this would ever be a problem for an SQLite users. Can citizens of Germany and Austria assign their copyright interest to third parties? If so, then if you want to contribute code to SQLite, just assign the copyright to me and I will then dedicate the code to the public domain, which I can do since I am not a citizen of Austria or Germany. If citizens of Germany and Austria are not allowed to assign copyright, then you will not be allowed to contribute code to SQLite regardless of what license SQLite uses. Either way, the fact that SQLite has been dedicated to the public domain seems unimportant. -- D. Richard Hipp <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
