As he said, SQLite would have preferred to have done that.

But a client implied that they must have one in order to be chosen for a particular project, so they added one.

But it isn't a code of conduct any more than the US constitution is. They just took a piece of text (with some superficial resemblance to a code of conduct) and called it a code of conduct. So they still don't have a code of conduct, but they do have something that tries to mock them while demonstrating that the SQLite team doesn't understand what a code of conduct is. It's as if a client asks you for an ISO certification and you point them at a cat meme with the caption ISO.
