"AFAIK has no published open specification. The only way to read an SQLite file is using SQLite"

It's documented pretty well: https://www.sqlite.org/fileformat.html

I suppose that doesn't make it an open standard, but it hasn't changed much.

Not sure what an open standard gets you above what SQLite already is. You can’t get much more open than that.

That's basically the non-subtle version of what I was trying to convey :)
