I got curious on how they solved contributions since "public domain" means different things in different jurisdictions[0] - unlike copyright. It turns out they didn't solve it - there's a subsection on the SQLite that declares it is "Open Source, nor Open Contribution[1]". Much like Android, this follows the letter of Open Source, but not the spirit of it.
I'll stand by my earlier assertion; wrangling public domain AI contributions is an even gnarlier problem to solve.
