+Notes:
+
+The majority of the code in the LiveCode Community edition is copyrighted
+by Runtime Revolution Ltd and has been released under the GPLv3.
+
+However, the revBrowser component on Windows and secure sockets and
+encryption feature on Windows and Linux utilises code that is under a
+license incompatible with the GPL. Specifically revBrowser uses ATL and
+the secure sockets and encryption feature uses OpenSSL.
+
+To this end, as a special exception to the terms and conditions of the
+GPL listed below, Runtime Revolution Ltd gives you explicit permission to
+combine its GPL code contained in LiveCode Community with ATL and
+OpenSSL. You may copy and distribute such a combination provided that
+you adhere to the terms and conditions of all of the GPL and licenses
+of the third-party code; in particular, you must include the source code
+of the entire combination insofar as the GPL requires distribution of
+source code.
+
+Note that this exception is only needed and only has effect when
+distributing applications built with LiveCode Community which use
+revBrowser (on Windows) or OpenSSL (on Windows and Linux).
