## Forking/Redistributing/Custom builds policy
2022-06-04 14:20:49 +00:00
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:
2022-07-12 18:44:11 +00:00
2022-08-06 07:30:46 +00:00
- Make it clear that your fork is not PolyMC and is not endorsed by or affiliated with the PolyMC project (< https: // polymc . org > ).
2023-06-25 11:03:51 +00:00
- Go through [CMakeLists.txt ](CMakeLists.txt ) and change PolyMC's API key to your own or set it to an empty string (`""`) to disable it (this way the program will still compile but you won't be able to log into your Minecraft account).
2022-05-30 22:05:29 +00:00
If you have any questions or want any clarification on the above conditions please make an issue and ask us.
2022-03-08 09:07:21 +00:00
2023-06-25 11:03:51 +00:00
Be aware that if you build this software without removing the provided Microsoft API key in [CMakeLists.txt ](CMakeLists.txt ) you are accepting the following terms and conditions:
2022-07-12 18:44:11 +00:00
2022-07-12 17:13:05 +00:00

2022-05-30 22:59:48 +00:00
2023-06-25 11:03:51 +00:00
If you do not agree with these terms and conditions, then remove the Microsoft API keys from the [CMakeLists.txt ](CMakeLists.txt ) file by setting it to an empty string (`""`).
