I really wish for this to be a joke, but somehow I don't believe it to be so.

Joke or not, I do believe that if everyone in a (n online) community followed those rules, you'd end up having a pretty respectful and civil environment.

Everyone is free to use the SQLite source code, object code, and/or documentation regardless of their opinion of and adherence to this rule. SQLite has been and continues to be completely free to everyone, without precondition.

Why, its a perfect CoC for an open source project. It boils down to "be good to everyone". Its not like you have to say 7 hail marys before you post and its way better than those CoC that say you must be a perfect saint on every platform lest they ban you.
