I now find that the editor I am happiest with is VS Code, not because it's free but because of the extensibility and community support it brings. I'd happily pay for it - but I think the nature of it being free is what has brought so much community support to it.
All that said, I'm not convinced the licensing is the issue here (although I wish them the best). We are in a world that has grown accustom to free development tools and building a commercially viable business in tooling is incredibly difficult. I'm always amazed by how many developers I know who make a living by creating software yet are unwilling to pay for software themselves.

This portion of the statement is harsh, and I think the project could do better by stating what they are doing and why, rather than focusing on what SQLite is doing and why it is bad.
I would say that it seems feasible (to me) that SQLite's "Code Of Ethics" works for a small team, open-source, closed-contribution model but wouldn't work for the open-contribution model that libSQL is trying to achieve.

For some of their enthusiast focused models many BMW drivers prefer the non-touch interface. I have had a BMW with a touch screen for 11.5 months now and a finger hasn’t touched the screen yet.
