Short, and only about what we run

The software is free, and its licence governs it

Everything this site describes — the website, the bridge, the game plugin, the installer, the module and the Android app — is free software released under the GPL-3.0-or-later. That licence is what governs your use of it: what you may do with it, what you must do if you distribute it, and the fact that it comes with no warranty.

Nothing on this page adds to it, subtracts from it, or applies alongside it. If this page and the licence ever appear to disagree about the software, the licence is right.

We do not govern anyone’s deployment, and cannot

If you run this software, the site you run is yours. We have no access to it, no control over it and no relationship with the people using it — you set its rules and you carry its responsibilities, including for the personal data it holds.

If you play on a community that runs it, your agreement is with that community, not with us. These terms are not the terms of the site you are actually using, and this is not the place to appeal a ban.

This website is informational, and offered as it is

The pages here describe software and how to run it. We try hard to keep them accurate — versions and protocol numbers on this site are re-read from the repositories on every build, precisely so they cannot quietly go stale — but the site is provided without warranty of any kind, and a decision to run this software in production is yours.

Do not attack it, scrape it into the ground, or use it to attack anything else. That is the whole of the acceptable-use policy for a site with one form on it.

The beta is a beta

Signing up asks for one thing: an email address, given by somebody 18 or older. We take it as given that you meet that — there is no verification, and saying so plainly is better than implying a check nobody performs.

The list is used to add testers to a Google Play closed test and for nothing else. A place on it is not a promise: the test may be delayed, changed, restricted or abandoned, the app may break in ways a released app would not, and being on the list does not guarantee an invitation. Ask to be removed at any time and the address is erased.

Do not sign somebody else up, and do not put a script on the form. The limits are modest and the list is small enough that abuse costs a real person their place.

The app you download here is the app we built

Until the app is on Google Play, the download on this site links straight at a signed release we publish, with a checksum file beside it. Check it if you like — that is what it is for.

It is a pre-release build, it is not distributed by a store, and it comes with the same absence of warranty as the rest. An APK from anywhere other than our own releases is not ours, whatever it is called.

If this page changes

The date at the top is the last time it did. This site sends no email of any kind, so there is no notice to send — the page is the record, and it changes in the same release as whatever prompted it.
