Shouldn=E2=80=99t we hack both sqlite and its module to integrate just the = same=20 symbol? If ever sqlite people disagree (if they write proprietary software,=20 they=E2=80=99re likely not that librists, hence maybe anti-copyleft), we co= uld=20 convince distributions to force that change instead. Most distributions=20 patch software. Debian would be a first candidate (and would cascade effec= t=20 on many of its derivatives). It would just as well be in the interest of=20 RedHat. Arch and Gentoo are usually less enthusiasts about such issues,=20 but they=E2=80=99re versatile and if bigger distributions start doing it, a= nd=20 doing otherwise breaks software, they=E2=80=99ll end up changing that too. Plus it doesn=E2=80=99t seem to be a very complex change, hence maintaining= a=20 single patch for that shouldn=E2=80=99t be that difficult over time.
