    If you actually read the page, it’s intended as a tongue-in-cheek box-checker.

    This document was originally called a “Code of Conduct” and was created for the purpose of filling in a box on “supplier registration” forms submitted to the SQLite developers by some clients.

    This document continues to be used for its original purpose - providing a reference to fill in the “code of conduct” box on supplier registration forms.

      @colonial @Sibbo I’m actually glad I did read the page itself - it’s clearly satire, making fun of how “sacred” others seem to hold their codes of conduct/ethics. I’m glad I read through that - I see no problems with it or in using SQLite.

        They are serious about the religious stuff.

        I fail to see how that’s an issue.

        Also, in the very page you linked, he clarified:

        In the face of today’s attention, which has included a wave of aggressive responses accusing Hipp of un-Christian behavior – he tells us he updated the preface to highlight the fact that by adopting St Benedict’s rules he was not seeking to exclude anyone.

        “Nobody is excluded from the SQLite community due to biological category or religious creed,” he told us. “The preface to the CoC should make this clear. The only way to get kicked out of the SQLite community is by shouting, flaming, and disrespectful behavior. In 18 years, only one person has ever been banned from the mailing list.”

        He also said that he considered only retaining the bullet points that would be relevant to the project, but ultimately decided that would be disrespectful to the original text and its author. Seems fine to me.
