Thank you for writing up about the company behind SQLite. I never knew!

I knew SQLite is well-respected by many, considered one of the best examples of software engineering. I just assumed that it was created by an individual or small team of brilliant minds - and developed/maintained by a user community - as such well-designed software often is.

The company sounds great. Their approach to business is refreshing, and reminds of a few other exemplary companies with principles, daring to tread their own path to success.

As an addendum: Hipp, Wyrick & Company, Inc. (Hwaci) is based in North Carolina, USA.
