Fedora is in the process of moving from *db to sqlite3 for the RPM
package format (or changed recently:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Sqlite_Rpmdb), for instance, so I
don't think there's any license problems here.
The sqlite lack of license is not the sole issue, there is a
requirement on copyright assignments / disclaimers, all those things
need to be examined first.
Fedora and GNU also have different goals, different guidelines and
different policies. If adding something that would be such a
significant dependency that it would be part of GNU Emacs one needs to
take into consideration based on GNU policies, and not on Fedoras.
