Well, it is in the public domain. Respecting and thanking people is of course a very nice thing to do but the fact is there are zero restrictions on what can be done with this software.
> that's a nice project you have there, it would be shame if something happened to it
That's always possible in all free and open source software development. Anyone can show up and just start working harder than whoever's currently in charge. Corporations can show up with paid full time developers and completely displace a project's leadership. Eventually the fork will accumulate so many improvements it will become the de facto upstream.
It remains to be seen if this is what will happen to SQLite and this new libSQL. Who knows, right? I don't expect SQLite to go anywhere though.
