Who knows?

Can't imagine anyone here using 32bit Windows and limiting themselves to 4GB of RAM.

Are there even any cheap laptops sold with that little nowadays?

From the same url:

SQLite is open-source, meaning that you can make as many copies of it as you want and do whatever you want with those copies, without limitation. But SQLite is not open-contribution. In order to keep SQLite in the public domain and ensure that the code does not become contaminated with proprietary or licensed content, the project does not accept patches from people who have not submitted an affidavit dedicating their contribution into the public domain.

All of the code in SQLite is original, having been written specifically for use by SQLite. No code has been copied from unknown sources on the internet.

What is verbose about that? (The first case, not the second, special case)

Seems hard to make it any shorter. Well, I guess you could remove "const" if you want.
