# How to create your own FluffyChat fork
|
|

|
|
|
## 1. 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
|
2021-01-21 10:37:30 +00:00
|
|
|
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
|
2021-01-25 21:04:53 +00:00
|
|
|
the encryption or fulfill the regulations.

## 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means that your fork is out of date and a security risk.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.

## 4. Official Support
|
2021-01-21 09:35:56 +00:00
|
|
|
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.
