How to create your own FluffyChat fork
FluffyChat is licensed under AGPL. Read the license (https://github.com/krille-chan/fluffychat/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.
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.

If you need help from us with using E2EE in your fork read more below under the topic "Official Support".
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 But this means that your fork is out of date and a security risk.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:
- 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.
- Never sleep and pay a big team where one guy at least is never sleeping.
- Contact famedly.com to buy official support.
FluffyChat is free as in free speech and not free beer! Please contact my company 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.
