Wait they are literally using the domain name https://sqlite.ai while not having any association with the sqlite authors?

I know that open source projects rarely protect their trademarks so maybe they are legally in the clear, but this still feels like bordering on fraud.

Seriously, look at their logo. This seems like a clear attempt to mislead consumers.



Their company name is apparently SQLite Cloud, inc. and they offer multiple products with SQLite in the name. I guess maybe the sqlite people just don't care about companies using the trademark?


Even if they don't (or maybe lawyers are too expensive to make it worth it) it still seems pretty scummy to me.


We are backed by the SQLite author (Dr. Richard Hipp), and we have full rights to use the SQLite name.
