+# Cadmium
+
+## Introduction
+
+Cadmium is a fork of the [Caddy HTTP server](https://caddyserver.com)
+
+I like caddy. I don't like telemetry. I especially don't like telemetry that
+stays enabled even if you pass the "disable telemetry" option.
+
+Rather than sticking with 0.10 for the rest of my life, I need to build my own
+binaries, perhaps with a few small tweaks. That's what this project is for.
+
+Another fork - called [Wedge](https://github.com/WedgeServer/wedge) - exists,
+but was created to solve a different problem and hasn't been updated beyond 0.10
+anyway.
+
+## Implementation
+
+The code in here isn't actually the whole caddy tree, forked. That's hard to
+maintain. Instead, it's a set of scripts - and *possibly* a few small patches -
+that can take a git reference, check out the Caddy source tree, and produce a
+binary from it. The binary is named `cadmium`, but it still reads a `Caddyfile`.
+
+A hard-coded list of modules is compiled in. Open an issue or merge request if
+you'd like a module to be added to that list, I don't mind.
+
+## Licensing
+
+Caddy licenses downloaded binaries under some
+[peculiar terms](https://caddyserver.com/products/licenses) for binaries you
+download directly from them. I'm under no obligation to follow the same terms
+for cadmium, and indeed I don't. My terms are a **lot** more peculiar.
+
+Individuals and [social enterprises](https://www.gov.uk/set-up-a-social-enterprise)
+(or equivalent category elsewhere in the world) may use and redistribute the
+binaries under the same terms you received them.
+
+In the event of a disagreement about whether a particular case matches these
+terms, the view of the Cadmium author prevails.
+
+Note that social enterprises can - and frequently do - engage in commercial
+activities. It's OK to be selling things and using Cadmium, as long as you meet
+the above definition.
+
+If you're **not** covered by the above, you should instead compile your own, or
+purchase a commercial license from
+[the good folks at Caddy](https://caddyserver.com/products/licenses).
+
+No license currently exists for the files in this repository, which means they
+are "All Rights Reserved". As a courtesy, and in the spirit of openness, you are
+permitted to view them, including the necessary making of any transient copies
+required to do so. Using them to generate a binary, or derivative works in
+general, is prohibited.
+
+Gosh, this licensing stuff is hard.
