   @teleclimber I'm not worried: If a fork's required, just the public tests (even without the proprietary tests) are better than many other projects' testsuites!

     From this great post on #sqlite https://avi.im/blag/2024/sqlite-facts/ I learned (or re-learned?) that the test suite for sqlite is proprietary. This has some implications:

     - You can't properly fork sqlite without buying the test suite, making community forks unlikely to survive
     - What happens when the company Hwaci goes under / gets bought / whatever. Hipp and Wyrick aren't getting any younger.

     I sure hope there is a plan to push all test and supporting code to a foundation when the time comes.
