When I say a few hundred lines of javascript (and I'm no fan of javascript) I literally mean a few hundred lines of javascript. No frameworks. No complicated server logic. Just CRDTs and a hybrid logical clock (written in fifty or so lines of JS) and a server running a little message bus...I once heard JLong talk about this and demo'd the capability to a military contractor in an office in old town alexandria and they thought it was hilarious. In just a couple crappy javascript files I was syncing data offline between twenty five different clients regardless of internal system clock speeds (I used a laptop that was running hot and had a fast system clock) or other bullshit. It was magical. And all of that was ran through SQLite. I even used some SQlite PostGIS-like extension during the demo. So yes, sqlite can be distributed in the purest sense of the word.
