Linking to someone else's sources is not in compliance with the GPL.  You must provide your own sources.

Demanding that we bloat up just to use SQL is the only thing that was rejected.

We are not against remasters of Core but trying to comply with the GPL is not easy. I am posting a link to this topic that I was personally, being co-developer of DSL,  involved with at the time.

When I started Tiny Core, I wanted to be sure that GPL sources would be easily available and not have to worry about handling media for such purposes.

I didn't full realise that, and must have had a clause mixed up with GPL v3, which has wording that allows me to provide a link. I am setting up the source directory now.

Right, but after careful consideration at the start, I came to the conclusion that using sqlite3 was the only sane and fast way to do what I wanted to do,

You are going after "Tiny Tiny" Core Linux. Based entirely around busybox, as you said.
I am happy with "Tiny Small" Core Linux. I don't mind the extra 400Kb to make the corepkg system work, for my version/remaster. I am based on busybox and sqlite3.
