DISCLAIMERS (Please read!)

This is not a final product.

This is beta software, and thus is not stable nor is it secure.

While Project Lighthouse is in a mostly working state, we ask that our software not be used in a production environment until release.

This is because we have not entirely nailed security down yet, and your instance WILL get attacked as a result. It's happened before, and it'll happen again.

Simply put, Project Lighthouse is not ready for the general public yet.

In addition, we're not responsible if someone hacks your machine and wipes your database, so make frequent backups, and be sure to report any vulnerabilities. Thank you in advance.

We are not obligated to provide support.

Project Lighthouse is open source. However, it is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License version 3 ( AGPLv3) meaning that Project Lighthouse is provided to you as-is, with absolutely no warranty.

Please understand that while this license gives you freedom to do pretty much anything you would want to do, including allowing you to run your instance, this doesn't mean we are obligated to support you or your instance. When you set up an instance of Project Lighthouse, you are entirely on your own.

Sony is not related nor liable.

It is very important to stress that the LBP Union and Project Lighthouse is not affiliated with Sony Group Corporation (collectively referred to as “Sony”) and its subordinate entities and studios. We are not the official developers of LittleBigPlanet or it's online services. Project Lighthouse is a clean-room reimplementation of its server, not the official servers.

By using Project Lighthouse you release Sony, as well as any employees or agents of Sony, from any and all liability, corporate, or personal loss caused to you or others by the use of Project Lighthouse or any features we provide.

Building

This will be written when we're out of beta. Consider this your barrier to entry ;).

It is recommended to build with Release if you plan to use Lighthouse in a production environment.
