SQLite being a prime example of cathedral-style development that few would argue isn’t open source.
Ok, I'll bite.
SQLite is not Open Source, it is Public Domain. Which, I'd argue alas, is "better" than Open Source.
It is fair to say that the distinction to most people is inconsequential. Nevertheless they are different legal paradigms.
Free Software, and to a lesser extent, Open Source, impose restrictions which are not present in Pubic Domain software.
