From ad2feb5a27efd4433c60e6d886859a8acd0acc3f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: JonKazama-Hellion Date: Sat, 2 May 2026 21:51:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] chore(license): add LICENSE, NOTICE and upstream sync docs Three new top-level files plus README update in preparation for leaving the GitHub fork network: - LICENSE: full EUPL-1.2 text plus dual copyright notice (upstream ChatTwo authors and Hellion Online Media). README previously pointed at a non-existent LICENCE file, fixing that compliance gap was overdue regardless of the fork-network decision. - NOTICE.md: acknowledgements addressed directly to Infi and Anna, honest framing of why the fork exists alongside upstream rather than trying to displace it, plus maintainer contact channels for attribution or takedown questions. - UPSTREAM_SYNC.md: documents the manual cherry-pick workflow with -x authorship preservation, the conflict-handling policy, and what we will and will not pull from upstream. Replaces the GitHub-Fork sync UI we will lose after detaching. - README.md: version bump to 0.5.1, fork-network detach note, link to NOTICE.md and LICENSE, fixed the LICENCE / LICENSE typo. --- LICENSE | 332 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ NOTICE.md | 89 +++++++++++++ README.md | 10 +- UPSTREAM_SYNC.md | 110 ++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 538 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 LICENSE create mode 100644 NOTICE.md create mode 100644 UPSTREAM_SYNC.md diff --git a/LICENSE b/LICENSE new file mode 100644 index 0000000..a34c07e --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE @@ -0,0 +1,332 @@ +HellionChat — a privacy-focused fork of ChatTwo + +Copyright (c) 2024-2025 Infiziert90 (Infi) and Anna Clemens + (original ChatTwo authors and copyright holders of the upstream work + this fork is built on) +Copyright (c) 2025-2026 Florian Wathling / Hellion Online Media + (HellionChat-specific modifications, Privacy/Export/Auto-Tell-Tabs + features, Hellion theme, German localisation, EUPL-1.2 fork + maintenance) + +Licensed under the European Union Public Licence (EUPL), Version 1.2 only. + +You may obtain a copy of the Licence at: +https://eupl.eu/1.2/en/ + +Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software +distributed under the Licence is distributed on an "AS IS" basis, WITHOUT +WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied.

Without +their work this fork would not exist, full stop. I owe them the architecture, +the message store, the channel filtering, the sidebar tab system, the +hooks into FFXIV's chat, the localisation infrastructure, and countless +small decisions that I only noticed because they had already been made +correctly. + +If you find HellionChat useful, please remember that the foundation came +from Chat 2. The code Anna and Infi wrote is doing most of the heavy +lifting in this fork too. + +## A direct word to Infi and Anna + +Hi. I am Florian (Flo, also Jon Kazama in-game on Phoenix). I forked Chat 2 +because I wanted a privacy-by-default version for my own use case and a +small group of friends I play with, not because I thought I could do +anything better than what you built. The opposite is true. ChatTwo's +default of full history and cross-character logging is the right call for +most users. I just have a different threat model and a different +data-handling philosophy that fits a smaller, locally-stored, retention- +limited approach. + +What HellionChat adds is mostly Hellion-specific surface area: a privacy +filter, per-channel retention windows, an export pipeline, an Auto-Tell- +Tabs feature for FFXIV club greeters, the Hellion theme and font, German +localisation, and a settings UX rebuild. None of it touches the bones of +what you built. Where I had to modify your code I tried to keep the +edits minimal, isolated to clearly-marked Hellion files, and reversible. + +Concrete example: when API 15 hit, I cherry-picked your fix for the +BetterTTV emote regression with `git cherry-pick -x` so authorship and +co-author trail stay intact. That is the standard I want to keep using as +long as both projects are alive. You should never have to look at this +fork and wonder if I quietly ate your work. + +If anything in this fork ever steps on something you would not be okay +with, please reach out and I will fix it. Genuinely. The list of contacts +is below. + +## Maintainer contact + +If something in HellionChat causes problems, especially if it relates back +to Chat 2 or to anything Infi or Anna would want flagged: + +- **GitHub Issues:** [JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/issues](https://github.com/JonKazama-Hellion/HellionChat/issues) +- **Discord:** `@j.j_kazama` +- **Email (business):** maintainer@hellion-media.de + +I respond on weekdays during European business hours. For anything +urgent (security, attribution, takedown), email is the fastest path. + +## Why this fork is not upstreamed + +The privacy-by-default position fits a small audience. ChatTwo's +full-history-by-default position fits a much larger one, including the +roleplaying community where chat archive is part of the play experience. +Trying to upstream HellionChat's defaults would have meant arguing that +Chat 2's defaults are wrong, and they are not. They are right for the +user base ChatTwo serves. So I keep the fork separate, attribute clearly, +and pull selected upstream patches when they apply. + +## Why HellionChat left the GitHub fork network + +The Dalamud plugin ecosystem treats the GitHub-Fork relation as a signal +that a fork is either a development branch or a dead mirror. HellionChat +is neither. It is an independently-maintained EUPL-1.2 fork with its own +release cadence, its own custom repo, its own user base. Detaching the +fork-network relation just makes the situation honest. The git history, +the cherry-pick trail, and the attribution stay exactly the same. The +only thing that changes is the GitHub UI no longer says "forked from". + +## Trademarks and naming + +"Chat 2" and "ChatTwo" are the names Infi and Anna chose for the upstream +plugin. HellionChat does not use either of those names in user-facing +copy except where required to describe origin (settings tab, manifest, +this file, the README). The Hellion brand is mine. + +## Questions + +This file is the canonical place for "is this attribution correct, is the +maintainer reachable, is the relationship to Chat 2 documented".
