License question

[brodycj]

I received a question by email concerning free vs paid license of SQLCipher and this project. To clarify:

• SQLCipher which is used by this project is available for free under a 3-clause BSD license or under commercial license from Zetetic LLC. This project uses SQLCipher for free according to the 3-clause BSD license.
• SQLCipher for Android which includes SQLCipher and code from Android open source project is available under Apache 2.0 license. There is also a commercial binary version of SQLCipher for Android that this project does not use.
• This project is available under MIT license, uses SQLCipher under 3-clause BSD license and SQLCipher for Android under Apache 2.0 license.

Here are some finer points:

• This project is based on the cordova-sqlite-storage plugin with MIT license. The cordova-sqlite-storage plugin was originally based on the work of others as described in AUTHORS.md and LICENSE.md.
• This project, cordova-sqlite-storage plugin, SQLCipher for Android, and SQLCipher all use SQLite which is public domain.

Commercial support options:

• Commercial support is available, please contact [email protected] for more details.
• Integration with evcore and evplus sqlite plugin versions is available upon commercial demand, please contact [email protected] in case of interest.
