GitHub doesn't seem to understand what the license is:

sparklemotion:sqlite3-ruby: Ruby bindings for the SQLite3 embedded database 2024-02-02 09-52-23

I didn't recognize the license file either, but it's actually the 3-Clause BSD license.

I don't think we should change the license, but there must be a way to get GitHub to display the right thing. We probably should update the copyright year and also add "et, al." to the license as well.

This is weird, licensee seems to detect it fine:
