No, we will have things that doesn't fit the definition, and we will also have people who use the defintion wrongly.
But that's okay.
That's the whole point of definition, to be able to say whether things fit the definition.

In your SQLite example, no, SQLite does not becomes db server because a server application wrap over it. File does not becomes file server just because it's shared over network.
