Some countries don't have Public Domain, and that can be a problem. I didn't know that. SQLite's response (from that transcript):

""" “We’ll sell you a license for SQLite.”

We do our best to talk them out of it and explain they don’t need this, but for a lot of people it’s cheaper to pay the fee and get the license than it is to convince their lawyers that they don’t need one. """

Priceless! Except that it's not. LoL.
