A large portion of the tests are closed source unfortunately which would make it tough to create a port.

  What the hell? This is the first I'm learning of this. Why did they do that? Is it owned by a private company?

    That's one way they make money. That's the reason sqlite exists.

      In a 2021 podcast interview[0], Dr. Hipp noted they've sold zero copies of the TH3 (extensive, proprietary) test suite in SQLite's history. By the time TH3 was added in 2008, SQLite had gained a fair bit of traction across multiple industries. Though I totally agree that the comprehensive coverage is a leading reason why they've been so stable over the last ~20 years. So indirectly, TH3 is why they (continue to) exist and (are able to) make money, but it isn't a direct line as one might assume.

        They sell several niche things, for hopefully hundreds of thousands of dollars, to just a few people each. TH3 is just one instance of the general pattern.
