For comparison, if you choose not to go for the free, public distribution of SQLite, the commercial license and warranty for it is $6000.

Is there any open source project where the author retains copyright? I mean in this case I'd say the copyright is transferred to a nameless entity, e.g. "the Yue project". IIRC any project with a developer agreement (like Google's) include a transferrence of copyright note.
> Is there any open source project where the author retains copyright? Yes. Pretty much all the most successful FOSS projects operate like this by default—there's no central authority and contributors retain their copyright. It's only in the last couple years or so that a weirdly high amount of orgs even started cargo culting the CLA process. And the reason for the CLAs seems to be that this was happening for nascent…
A CLA is still necessary in some form in this case for the owner of the repo to re-license the product under the commercial dual licensing scheme.

Right, So I am doing a research project and If I want to use this library in that project, does that mean I have to pay to use it. My project is currently closed source , because don't want anyone to steal stuff before I publish my paper. After that the code goes public.
No, you don't have to pay. You only have to pay if you modify Yue.
From the FAQ, https://github.com/yue/help > But once you have done modifications to Yue's source code, all your code linked with Yue have to be open sourced with MS-RL. The only way to remove this limitation is to subscribe to Yue's paid plan. > The license seems like a non starter. > Note that the license of Yue has less restrictions than LGPL, it does not require you to open source your project when you statically…

I don't understand what point you're trying to make. The tone of your comment comes across as if you're refuting/disputing something (that may be implied?) in what I wrote, but I'm not sure what it is.
