Where it comes from?

quote:
"the guaranteed, undivided attention of the SQLite developers
for 23 staff days per year and for as much additional time
above and beyond that amount that the core developers have
available."

Just wandering how they calculate the "23 days"!
There are 5 days times 52 weeks in a year: 260 days.
Dividing 260 by 23 gives 11.4
Maybe there are "11 members",,,
If a new company joins... Will it receive the sama amount?

The work doesn't have to be divided equally

Here's my guess. The more companies sponsor the work, the more time the developers can afford to devote to the SQLite project. I can't imagine that there's anything stopping work from being shared unequally among SQLite members, too; if I were a company needing support, I'd rather have steady contact with one or two coders for support or patches than to cycle among various different programmers.

You can publish it under any license

Hi, I think that given SQLite is not enforcing copyrights for the code anyone can distribute with any license. I mean I can copy all source code to a "SQLite2" project and release it under the GPL.
am I right?
