Fork & Customization Guide

This guide explains how to fork, rename, and customize OpenMark while respecting the Forge Network license.

1. Forking the Project

  1. Click Fork on GitHub.
  2. Clone your fork locally.
  3. Modify the name, icon, and configuration as needed (see BRANDING.md).

2. Renaming the Project

You may rename the project in:

  • README.md (but keep a credit to Forge Network)
  • Configuration files
  • Launch scripts
  • UI elements

You must keep a clear mention such as:

This project is based on OpenMark, created by Forge Network (https://forgenet.fr).

You may add your own credits, for example:

Fork and modifications by [YourName / YourCommunity].

3. Changing Icons and Visuals

You may:

  • Replace the main icon
  • Change screenshots
  • Adjust colors or themes

You may not:

  • Remove mandatory Forge Network credits
  • Use Forge Network logos to imply official endorsement

4. Redistributing Your Fork

If you publish your fork (GitHub, website, launcher, etc.):

  1. Keep the following files:

    • LICENSE.md
    • NOTICE.md
    • BRANDING.md (recommended)

  2. Ensure that:

    • Forge Network credits remain visible
    • You do not claim original authorship
    • You do not present your fork as “official”

5. Summary

  • Allowed: fork, modify, rename, change icons, redistribute
  • Not allowed: remove credits, claim authorship, hide Forge Network origins
