As is listed, half the reasons this occurs for them is that the user
wants a legal contract and not public domain code. Contracts carry, in
most countries, an extra weight in law that a license is not yet
recognized to have. Because of this, a contract has to be a fair
exchange of value.

If all you want is SQLite under an MIT license, have someone who lives
in a country that recognizes public domain just copy and relicense under
the MIT terms.
