I would be surprised if any lawyer accepts that as a license...

The man page is next to useless. The only content that is not pretty
much C&P from sqlite3 -help and .help is the part about the init file.
Seriously, in this form it is just a waste of space.

The other issue is that imports of the next version of sqlite3 are going
to drop it again as this is the same directory...
