Conclusion status

No confirmed conclusion exists for this pair. The evidence below is presented for transparency; a relationship conclusion requires a human review that has not happened, or a previous decision no longer matches the current evidence.

Evidence suggests tursodatabase/libsql is a fork of sqlite/sqlite. Human review required before publication.

Seed context: Research question: is libSQL a fork of SQLite? SQLite's canonical VCS is Fossil; the GitHub repo is a mirror.

fork_claim
It is **not** a fork of SQLite — it is a completely new implementation that goes beyond what any SQLite fork can offer, including concurrent writes and bi-directional sync with offline support.
