 ## Forking/Redistributing/Custom builds policy
 
-We don't care what you do with your fork/custom build as long as you do the following as a basic courtesy:
-- Follow the terms of the [license](LICENSE) (not just a courtesy, but also a legal responsibility)
+We don't care what you do with your fork/custom build as long as you follow the terms of the [license](LICENSE) (this is a legal responsibility), and if you made code changes rather than just packaging a custom build, please do the following as a basic courtesy:
 - Make it clear that your fork is not PolyMC and is not endorsed by or affiliated with the PolyMC project (https://polymc.org).
 - Go through [CMakeLists.txt](CMakeLists.txt) and change PolyMC's API keys to your own or set them to empty strings (`""`) to disable them (this way the program will still compile but the functionality requiring those keys will be disabled).
