## Forking/Redistributing/Custom builds policy
|
|
|
|
We don't care what you do with your fork/custom build as long as you follow the terms of the [license](LICENSE) (this is a legal responsibility), and if you made code changes rather than just packaging a custom build, please do the following as a basic courtesy:
|
|
- Make it clear that your fork is not PolyMC and is not endorsed by or affiliated with the PolyMC project (https://polymc.org).
|
|
- Go through [CMakeLists.txt](CMakeLists.txt) and change PolyMC's API keys to your own or set them to empty strings (`""`) to disable them (this way the program will still compile but the functionality requiring those keys will be disabled).
|
|
|
|
If you have any questions or want any clarification on the above conditions please make an issue and ask us.
|
|
|
|
Be aware that if you build this software without removing the provided API keys in [CMakeLists.txt](CMakeLists.txt) you are accepting the following terms and conditions:
|
|
- [Microsoft Identity Platform Terms of Use](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/legal/microsoft-identity-platform/terms-of-use)
|
|
- [CurseForge 3rd Party API Terms and Conditions](https://support.curseforge.com/en/support/solutions/articles/9000207405-curse-forge-3rd-party-api-terms-and-conditions)
|
|
|
|
If you do not agree with these terms and conditions, then remove the associated API keys from the [CMakeLists.txt](CMakeLists.txt) file by setting them to an empty string (`""`).

All launcher code is available under the GPL-3.0-only license.
