docs: clarify interoperability and compliance wording
Add docs/INTEROPERABILITY.md, an English scope document that describes the project's interoperability and responsible-use practices: what it distributes, how it handles local platform metadata and the MAC/AMFI probe, how it keeps copyright and licence notices, how it avoids access/authentication/integrity shortcuts, how it presents trademarks and handles notices, and the user's responsibility for Riot's terms. Update README, NOTICE, COMPLIANCE and PLATFORM_IDENTITY to link the document and to state the opt-in window-helper and synthetic-identity behaviour accurately. Add CONTRIBUTING with DCO sign-off and a scope checklist. Documentation-only change: no launcher, patch, build or test behaviour changes. Signed-off-by: 3AvisD <[email protected]>

# Interoperability and compliance scope
|
||||
|
||||
> This document explains how the project stays within interoperability and
|
||||
> responsible-use practices. It is **not legal advice**. Software, contract and
|
||||
> platform rules are fact-specific and differ by country. Consult qualified
|
||||
> counsel before distributing, modifying or using this project.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Purpose
|
||||
|
||||
`darling-lol` is an unofficial interoperability effort. It applies source
|
||||
patches to [Darling](https://github.com/darlinghq/darling), a free-software
|
||||
macOS compatibility layer, so that the official macOS Riot client can run on
|
||||
x86-64 Linux. The user obtains the client from Riot and signs in through Riot's
|
||||
own client and services.
|
||||
|
||||
The project is not a game, a game server, an account service, a launcher for
|
||||
pirated content, or a substitute for Riot's platform. It does not provide Riot
|
||||
accounts, authentication, matchmaking, payments, telemetry or game servers.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. What we distribute and what we do not
|
||||
|
||||
We keep the project on the interoperability side by distributing only:
|
||||
|
||||
- source patches for Darling, a free-software compatibility layer;
|
||||
- original integration, build and test tooling;
|
||||
- documentation and licence notices.
|
||||
|
||||
We do **not** distribute, bundle, mirror or sublicense:
|
||||
|
||||
- the Riot client or game binaries;
|
||||
- game assets, art, audio, video, fonts or data;
|
||||
- account databases, tokens or credentials;
|
||||
- Riot installers or installers for pirated content.
|
||||
|
||||
The user obtains the client from Riot and installs it through Riot's own
|
||||
installer. The project does not provide accounts, authentication, matchmaking,
|
||||
payments, telemetry or game servers, and it does not sell the game, a licence,
|
||||
access or priority.
|
||||
|
||||
## 3. Platform identity
|
||||
|
||||
Darling needs macOS-like platform metadata. `tools/configure-darling-platform.py`
|
||||
can generate synthetic serial numbers, UUIDs and related fields, or import
|
||||
values supplied by the user, so that the guest environment is internally
|
||||
consistent.
|
||||
|
||||
These values are **local compatibility metadata**:
|
||||
|
||||
- they are not Apple-issued identifiers, credentials or authentication tokens;
|
||||
- they are not used with Apple services and should not be used to impersonate
|
||||
real hardware;
|
||||
- they are not sent to Riot as authentication; the official client authenticates
|
||||
through Riot's own flow.
|
||||
|
||||
See `docs/PLATFORM_IDENTITY.md` for the schema, validation rules and warnings.
|
||||
|
||||
## 4. Local sandbox/AMFI probe
|
||||
|
||||
Darling has no macOS MAC, Seatbelt or AMFI framework. Chromium/CEF, which the
|
||||
Riot client embeds, probes `___mac_syscall`. An `ENOSYS` response is treated as
|
||||
fatal and prevents CEF helper processes from starting. The compatibility layer
|
||||
therefore reports the local probe as satisfied. The relevant code and comments
|
||||
are in `patches/xnu.patch` (`mac_syscall.c`).
|
||||
|
||||
This compatibility shim:
|
||||
|
||||
- does not implement a sandbox and does not make the guest secure;
|
||||
- does not interact with Riot's servers or alter Riot's account, payment or
|
||||
server-side integrity flows;
|
||||
- does not grant access to Riot's content or services.
|
||||
|
||||
Treat the guest as **unsandboxed**. Do not run untrusted content inside it. This
|
||||
is a local compatibility limitation, not a claim of security. See
|
||||
`docs/COMPLIANCE.md` for the project's terminology and scope guidance.
|
||||
|
||||
## 5. Copyright and licences
|
||||
|
||||
We keep the project's copyright and licensing position clear:
|
||||
|
||||
- the game, client, code and assets remain Riot's; we do not reproduce, store,
|
||||
distribute or commercialise them;
|
||||
- we distribute patches to free-software Darling and original tooling, not a
|
||||
copy of the game or the upstream runtime;
|
||||
- each patch keeps the licence and notices of the upstream file it modifies;
|
||||
original tooling is GPL-3.0-only;
|
||||
- we keep the upstream licence and attribution notices in the patched files and
|
||||
describe the project's licensing position in `NOTICE.md`;
|
||||
- we do not remove copyright or licence notices from patched files;
|
||||
- we review good-faith licensing and removal requests.
|
||||
|
||||
We do not sell the game, a licence, access or priority. Donations are voluntary
|
||||
and support development of the free tooling; they do not purchase the game or
|
||||
any Riot service.
|
||||
|
||||
## 6. Access, authentication and integrity controls
|
||||
|
||||
The project is designed for compatibility, not for defeating access,
|
||||
authentication, payment or integrity controls:
|
||||
|
||||
- we do not provide tools or features whose purpose is to defeat those controls;
|
||||
- we do not forge authentication tokens, session data, account data or
|
||||
server-side integrity attestations;
|
||||
- we do not proxy or emulate Riot accounts, matchmaking, payments, telemetry or
|
||||
game servers;
|
||||
- we do not patch Riot's client or game binaries, CEF or anti-cheat;
|
||||
- we do not automate gameplay input or provide cheats;
|
||||
- the opt-in close/hide helper only manages local client windows while a match
|
||||
runs; it is off by default and does not change the client, CEF or anti-cheat.
|
||||
|
||||
The synthetic platform identity in §3 is local metadata; it is not a credential
|
||||
and is not used to authenticate.
|
||||
|
||||
## 7. User agreements and account risk
|
||||
|
||||
Use of the project is at your own risk. You must:
|
||||
|
||||
- own a legitimate Riot account and obtain the client from Riot;
|
||||
- comply with Riot's terms and user agreement;
|
||||
- not cheat, exploit, automate gameplay or use the project to gain an unfair
|
||||
advantage;
|
||||
- accept that Riot does not support this environment and may suspend or ban
|
||||
accounts, including accounts used only for testing. Do not use a main or
|
||||
ranked account.
|
||||
|
||||
The project does not authorise any violation of Riot's terms. If you do not
|
||||
agree, do not use the project. Account restrictions are a real risk and are
|
||||
documented in the README announcement.
|
||||
|
||||
## 8. Trademarks and presentation
|
||||
|
||||
League of Legends and Riot Games are trademarks or registered trademarks of Riot
|
||||
Games, Inc. The names are used only to describe the compatibility target
|
||||
(nominative use). The project:
|
||||
|
||||
- does not use Riot logos, game art or other Riot brand assets;
|
||||
- uses an original project mark;
|
||||
- is not affiliated, endorsed or sponsored by Riot Games;
|
||||
- asks forks to use their own name and icon and not to imply endorsement.
|
||||
|
||||
See `NOTICE.md` and `docs/COMPLIANCE.md`.
|
||||
|
||||
## 9. Historical material
|
||||
|
||||
Earlier revisions of the repository included a third-party game logo and an
|
||||
embedded gameplay clip. They were removed from the current tree; the current
|
||||
tree uses an original project mark and contains no gameplay media. Git history
|
||||
and third-party forks may still contain those earlier revisions. They are not
|
||||
part of the current project, are not licensed by this project, and should not be
|
||||
reused. The project will review good-faith removal requests.
|
||||
|
||||
## 10. Notices and contact
|
||||
|
||||
For a licensing, trademark or interoperability question, contact the maintainer
|
||||
using the address in `README.md`, or open an issue in the repository. Include:
|
||||
|
||||
- the repository URL, file or commit at issue;
|
||||
- the right or licence you assert;
|
||||
- the action you request;
|
||||
- a way to contact you.

||||
