You misunderstood my question (or, perhaps my question wasn't clear), but it is answered now. 1. Essentially, stuff downloaded from sqlite.org is still pure sqlite, purely and completely in public domain in the US, with nothing from Oracle within it. 2. Stuff downloaded from elsewhere can of course use sqlite, and may be subject to its own terms.
