is the link of .aar file on Maven repository is the community releae version of lib version 3.5.9 ?
https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/net.zetetic/android-database-sqlcipher/3.5.9

because I’m confused between community and commercial editions, we can’t get commercial edition unless we are in contact with support correct ?
