> Speak no useless words or words that move to laughter. Aww here goes my entire social coping strategy. That being said: this is a stab at Linux CoC? I can see the humour in it but... Seems unprofessonal for a project as SQLite?

Didn't we all encounter bosses who would call endless meetings and who would laugh at points that they could not understand? This one is important, even if the fellow from the Name of the Rose had a strange take on it.

Best CoC I have ever seen! I do not think that it is joke. From sqlite's source code:

The author disclaims copyright to this source code. In place of a legal notice, here is a blessing: May you do good and not evil. May you find forgiveness for yourself and forgive others. May you share freely, never taking more than you give.

People seem to be upset about the religious parts of the code of conduct, just read the overview, it's in no way intended to force religion onto people.

If the religious bits was to be deleted, it would be hard for anyone to disagree.

I see it as no less good or bad than any other code of conduct I've seen. Most of them could be used to throw anyone out of any project, if you chose to do so. The code of conducts for a lot of projects are so selectively enforced that is ridiculous.

I don't think any of this is meant to be serious anyway. This is literally a set of rules meant for a order of ascetic monks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_Saint_Benedict

Although, religious aspects aside, there are many valuable tenets to be found in there, which will be directly opposed by those who want to get angry about it.

"Having a CoC seems to be a trendy thing nowadays." Here, then, is an example of how society falls. Never has any good come out of such things, and for as long as one seeks to dominate, oppress and limit another in any such way, no matter how sweet the words, their meaning will forever remain imprisonment of another.

The CoC has been used in Linux by an Intel-hired transsexual movement to make character assassinations of developers who were not too keen on implementing Intel backdoors.

Those who oppose? Get called transphobic and targeted with made-up rape allegations.
