AR-Cluster additional permission under GNU GPL version 3, section 7
Microsoft SQL Server Compact 3.5 SP2 linking exception
Adopted October 10, 2026 at Max George NG7M direction.

As an additional permission under section 7 of the GNU General Public
License, version 3, the licensors of the covered AR-Cluster work grant you
permission to link or combine that work with Microsoft's SQL Server
Compact 3.5 SP2 managed and native runtime components, including compatible
servicing updates for that version, and to convey the resulting combination.
You must comply with the GNU GPL as applied to the covered AR-Cluster work
and with Microsoft's applicable license terms for those components.

This permission does not license Microsoft's components under the GNU GPL,
grant any additional rights in them, or excuse compliance with their
redistribution conditions. Corresponding Source for the covered AR-Cluster
work remains required under the GNU GPL; this additional permission does
not require disclosure of Microsoft's proprietary source. It grants no
permission for other GPL-incompatible components or separately owned works
not covered by the licensors' permission.

If you modify the covered work, you may extend this additional permission
to your modifications to the extent you have the necessary rights, but
are not obliged to do so. You may remove this additional permission from
your version; conveying a version combined with SQL Server Compact would
then require another applicable permission or basis consistent with the GPL.

COPYING and LICENSE.md contain the unchanged GNU GPL version 3. The covered
AR-Cluster work is offered under GPL version 3 or any later version, with
this additional permission. Other components, datasets and artwork retain
their separate applicable terms. See THIRD-PARTY.md and CREDITS.txt.
