Is software written in C# and tied to Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition compatible with the GPL?
I have written a small database application with a C# front end that I wish to release under a GNU General Public License (GPL). Problem is, as it stands it is written in C# using Visual Studio 2010 (under an educational license) and utilizes Microsoft SQL Server Compact Edition (v. 3.5) as the back end. Is it possible to release it in it's current form as a GPL licensed software?

I believe there is a Microsoft Public  License that is regarded as free software but know very little about it. Any details about the Microsoft Public License(s)? Any advantage or disadvantage to using that?

Thanks.
