We don't care what you do with your fork/custom build as long as you follow the terms of the 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 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).
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 Microsoft API key in CMakeLists.txt you are accepting the following terms and conditions:
If you do not agree with these terms and conditions, then remove the Microsoft API keys from the CMakeLists.txt file by setting it to an empty string ("").
