License +FluffyChat is licensed under AGPL. Read the license +(https://gitlab.com/ChristianPauly/fluffychat-flutter/-/blob/main/LICENSE) and +make sure that your fork is open source under the same license and that you +fulfill all requirements. Maybe you should consider contacting a lawyer **before** +you publish your fork. + +## 2. Disable end-to-end encryption! +Due to US export regulations you are not allowed to publish your app in +a store or anywhere on a US server before you have removed everything regarding +the encryption or fulfill the regulations. + +Learn more: +https://www.bis.doc.gov/index.php/policy-guidance/encryption + +If you need help from us with using E2EE in your fork read more below under the +topic "**Official Support**". + +## 3. Stay up to date! +FluffyChat contains security related stuff. If we find a security bug, we will +try to fix it as soon as possible and ship it with a new version. But this +means that your fork is out of date and a security risk. You can't be awake +24 hours a day so you must decide how you protect your users by chosing one +of the following methods: + +1. Make your fork as minimal as possible and enable repository mirroring. Set +up a CI which publishes new versions automatically if FluffyChat publishes a +bug fix. +2. Never sleep and pay a big team where one guy at least is never sleeping. +3. Contact [famedly.com](https://famedly.com) to buy official support. + +## 4. Official Support +FluffyChat is free as in free speech and not free beer! Please contact +my company [famedly.com](https://famedly.com) for offers and official support +and take in mind that it costs a lot of work and time to maintain FluffyChat +or the Famedly Matrix SDK. So we can't give you support for free. So please +expect around 1$ per month per user of your fork. \ No newline at end of file
