Does this mean I can legally violate the license outside N.C.?
No, that means that the law of North Carolina apply, not whatever jurisdiction you might find convenient.
See, for example, http://www.contractstandards.com/clauses/governing-law
1) Why would offer a license if it's public domain? Unless the license was to offer support which I don't see it on that page.
2) Where did you get the $1000 from - it's also not on that page?

Even though SQLite is in the public domain and does not require a license, some users want to obtain a license anyway. Possible 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.
