Not mentioned is that the full test sqlite test suite is proprietary and you need a super expensive sqlite foundation membership to get access to it. That means (unless you get that membership), your patched/forked version will be less extensively tested than the official version. So sqlite is in reality very difficult to fork. Sqlite is very solid, but bugs do sometimes show up in it despite all that testing, and more relevantly, some bugs in development are presumably caught by the testing, which outsiders don't have access to.
I'm somewhat leery of hacking on sqlite for this reason. It seems to me like a good candidate for RiiR.
Reportedly they didn't earn anything from test suite, so it is surprising they keep it proprietary.
>The 100% MCD tests, that’s called TH3. That’s proprietary. I had the idea that we would sell those tests to avionics manufacturers and make money that way. We’ve sold exactly zero copies of that so that didn’t really work out.
