Thanks, everyone knows they have a weird coc. It obviously only applies to the maintainers/members of the project though and is more of a statement than something that is actually enforced. As a convinced atheist, I also find it pretty weird but see absolutely no reason at all to avoid sqlite because of that. What matters is: Code quality/correctness (which is absolutely superb when it comes to sqlite) and license, of course. Why would I care about the authors beliefs? They don’t even directly benefit from me using their product.
If you actually read the page, it’s intended as a tongue-in-cheek box-checker.
This document was originally called a “Code of Conduct” and was created for the purpose of filling in a box on “supplier registration” forms submitted to the SQLite developers by some clients.
This document continues to be used for its original purpose - providing a reference to fill in the “code of conduct” box on supplier registration forms.
@colonial@Sibbo I’m actually glad I did read the page itself - it’s clearly satire, making fun of how “sacred” others seem to hold their codes of conduct/ethics. I’m glad I read through that - I see no problems with it or in using SQLite.
From their “code of ethics”
There are even more strange ones, but I hope you get the picture. Reason enough to use something else if possible.

@words_number @Sibbo that was one hell of an opening sentence to misread.

It’s not satire.
