I'm sure there are other countries that have restrictions towards who can contribute to US-based projects as well. Unfortunate yes, but hardly the fault of SQLite.

I'm curious about the "citizens cannot revoke their human rights and as such cannot put things into public domain" part of your comment. How does putting something into public domain revoke anything regarding your human rights?

I am not a lawyer but my understanding is that copyright is considered a human right, hence being non revokable for citizens in Australia and Germany.

Hence you must explicitly licence to allow reuse.

It's why personally if I want something as free as possible I dual licence under Unlicense and MIT with the user able to take whichever suits them best.
