We are working on a Xamarin project for a client and there are 2 flavours to the app - a secured app and a regular app.  
Both flavors are using the same code base.  
The regular flavor will use `SQLite.Net.Platform.XamarinAndroid.SQLitePlatformAndroid`.  
The secured flavor will use `SQLite.Net.Platform.SQLCipher.XamarinAndroid`.  
The project will have both SQLCipher component and the full SQLite.Net-PCL package installed.  
My question - will we require a license to build the regular flavor? It does not use SQLCipher but it does bundle it.

Hello @darakimaia Yes, if you are including SQLCipher for Xamarin.Android in an application package you must license it.
