Scope and compliance guidance

This project is an unofficial compatibility layer for running the macOS League of Legends client on Linux through Darling. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Riot Games, Inc.

Scope

• The project is about compatibility: making the client run, render and behave correctly on Linux.
• It does not aim to circumvent DRM, anti-cheat, licensing, telemetry, or other platform security controls, and it does not distribute a game client, game assets, or account data.
• Do not describe or present the project as a tool for evading detection, preventing bans, bypassing DRM, or defeating anti-cheat. Do not promise that an account will not be banned.

Terminology

Prefer accurate compatibility language:

Prefer	Avoid
compatibility issue, client check, platform identity	detection vector, stealth, evasion, bypass
hardware/platform reporting	spoofing, telemetry leak
runtime/launcher fix	anti-cheat bypass

Technical facts can be described precisely without framing the work as evasion. If a change touches a client check or a platform identity, say what it does and why it is needed for compatibility.

Assets and third-party material

• Do not add or link third-party game assets: logos, icons, fonts, screenshots, gameplay audio/video, client files, game data, or account data.
• Project icons and artwork must be original. Forks must use their own name and icon; see the trademark notice in README.md and NOTICE.md.
• Do not commit local prefixes, logs, tokens, captures, or compiled client/runtime binaries.

Pull requests and issues

• Describe the compatibility problem and the fix. Avoid "stealth", "spoof", "evade", "undetectable", or "unbannable" framing.
• Maintainers may ask for wording changes before merging. This is about keeping the project's scope accurate, not about hiding technical details.
• Contributions that add third-party assets or present the project as a DRM/anti-cheat circumvention tool are out of scope for this repository.
