SQLite adopts a new Code of Conduct

 

Quote

1. Overview

Having been encouraged by clients to adopt a written code of conduct, the SQLite developers elected to govern their interactions with each other, with their clients, and with the larger SQLite user community in accordance with the "instruments of good works" from chapter 4 of The Rule of St. Benedict. This code of conduct has proven its mettle in thousands of diverse communities for over 1,500 years, and has served as a baseline for many civil law codes since the time of Charlemagne.

1.1. Users of the SQLite Code

This rule applies to SQLite developers, not to users of the SQLite code. Everyone is free to use the SQLite source code, object code, and/or documentation regardless of their opinion of and adherence to this rule. SQLite has been and continues to be completely free to everyone, without precondition.

1.2. Participation in the SQLite Mailing Lists

Participates in the SQLite Mailing Lists or other public forums are not required to follow this rule. However, comments posted on mailing lists or forums are expected to be courteous and professional, and should be worded as if they were written by someone who is a follower of this rule. Speak only the truth in love, honor all, do not be angry or nurse a grudge, do not return evil for evil, be not proud or a grumbler or a detractor, avoid depraved speech, hate no one, do not love quarreling, and so forth. Violator brought to the attention of the project leader will be reproved, gently at first but with increasing urgency, and may ultimately be banned if the behavior is not amended.

1.3. Core Developers

All of the current core developers of SQLite have pledged to follow this rule. The public is invited to call us out if we are seen in breach of the rule, especially with regards to our interaction with mailing list participates and/or general users of SQLite.

In the future, should someone wish to become a core developer of SQLite and is in every way qualified except that he or she does not feel comfortable with some details of this rule, then appropriate adjustments will be made at that point.

I love this. It's is absolutely hilarious and a huge middle finger to the people demanding a CoC. I'm hoping someday some bigger projects adapts the No Code of Conduct Code of Conduct

It has been said: "For the developer so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten code, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have a highly optimised database."

Funny thing is this has actually been their CoC since February. Which makes the exploding heads pretty funny.

 

More technically, it's based off the earliest written Christian monastic code (helping lay the foundation for most modern (and functional) legal systems), has been proven out over a millennia and the code is directly responsible for the creation of modern industries. (Christian monks are one of the most important groups, historically, in the development of technology.)

 

Realistically, it's a project over a decade old that's always required unique code, thus it has to be controlled by a small group. That small group is mostly a bunch of Catholics, so agreeing to this type of CoC makes sense. They now have the most stringent CoC in the industry. I hope the rest of the FOSS projects can keep up.

Crap, I jumped the gun, since Twitter started sperging out just recently.

Dr Richard Hipp is really a devout Christian, so they're 100% serious. Still better CoC than Contributor Covenant's CoC though.

There's a little bit of trolling involved, but Dr. Hipp explained the reasoning pretty well. And I wasn't joking about how important the Christian monastic movement is for both technological development and functional provenance for over 1000 years. No one would say the Rules are pleasant to follow, but you cannot say they don't work, at a structural level. 

 

CoCs are trendy, thus they picked one that clearly will work for extended periods of time. Most of the trendy CoCs will destroy their projects, while SQlite very likely will still be kicking while the rest of them have been forked because idiots run them now.
