Ah then SQLite is far more secular and progressive than I had thought. I would still ask: has there ever been a single exception to SQLite's developer makeup?
I am not sure how
> The founder of SQLite and all current developers have pledged to follow the spirit of The Rule to the best of their ability. They view The Rule as their promise to all SQLite users of how the developers are expected to behave. This is a one-way promise, or covenant. In other words, the developers are saying: "We will treat you this way regardless of how you treat us."
...would continue to stand if there were an exception. That is what makes me suspicious as to how welcoming the SQLite team would be to those who do not make the same pledge. That covenant as it stands would be broken.
I would be similarly suspicious of a company where the CEO and all members pledged themselves to a religious faith with a written statement on their unanimous covenant. The claim that there has never been any religious exclusion combined with the lack of a single exception in their history would raise suspicion in me.
