> Even though SQLite is in the public domain and does not require a license, some users want to obtain a license anyway. Some reasons for obtaining a license include:

>

> * You are using SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the public domain.

> * You are using SQLite in a jurisdiction that does not recognize the right of an author to dedicate their work to the public domain.

> * You want to hold a tangible legal document as evidence that you have the legal right to use and distribute SQLite.

> * Your legal department tells you that you have to purchase a license.

>

> If you feel like you really have to purchase a license for SQLite, Hwaci, the company that employs the architect and principal developers of SQLite, will sell you one.
