I half-expected that... I spent quite a lot of time grepping through the

This is the "amalgamed sqlite" - which is not used during the build. It
is exactly the same license as what is currently in the archive as
sqlite3. I am not sure what can be done with those, considering the
presence of that code in Debian already...

Do you mind if I forward those communications to the BTS (#485553) so
that others can contribute?

Is it okay if I upload a new package with details about the BSD files
and other licenses, while still shipping the sqlite source?

Thank you for your work,

A.
