SQLite3 is the API which, the way the team recommend we use it, is two files: one .h file and one .c file. There are copies in every Linux and Mac OS installation I've ever seen. Chances are the OP's team wouldn't even need to download them from an external server. The form the API comes in a source code. Unless the SQLite team played obfuscated C tricks, what they accept is all source code: if they think something sneaky has been built in to steal their data, the OP's team can just sit there and read the amalgamation from beginning to end. I would say SQLite is the very model for contributed code which even the most sensitive and secure project would be able to accept from outside the team. Of course, Richard Hipp was born in the '60s, got a Doctorate of Philosophy from Duke and then /didn't/ proceed to academia, which means he's probably a commie hippy. That might put the kibosh on it.
