# Letro Authentication Service
This repository contains Letro's fork of the
[Matrix Authentication Service (MAS)](https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-authentication-service),
the OIDC-based authentication service for Matrix homeservers,
developed by [Element](https://element.io/) (Element Creations Ltd. /
New Vector Ltd.).
It is published as the corresponding source for the Letro-operated
authentication service, in compliance with the GNU Affero General
Public License, version 3 (AGPLv3) §13.
## Role in the Letro stack
The Letro Authentication Service is the OIDC provider used by the
Letro-operated Matrix homeserver for sign-in, sign-up, account
management and session handling. It is deployed alongside the
homeserver via the unmodified upstream
[Element Server Suite (ESS) Helm chart](https://github.com/element-hq/ess-helm)
and is exposed to end users of the Letro service. Because the
service is reached by users over a network and Letro modifies it,
AGPLv3 §13 applies: every user interacting with the running service
must be offered access to the corresponding source — see
"Corresponding source" below.
## Relationship to upstream
- Upstream project: <https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-authentication-service>
- Upstream baseline used by this fork: see
[`UPSTREAM_VERSION`](UPSTREAM_VERSION)
- Letro modifications, with dates, serving as the AGPLv3 §5(a)
modification notice for the work as a whole: see
[`FORK_DIVERGENCE.md`](FORK_DIVERGENCE.md)
Upstream technical documentation — build instructions, configuration
reference, operations notes — applies unchanged. See the upstream
[README](https://github.com/element-hq/matrix-authentication-service#readme)
and [docs](https://element-hq.github.io/matrix-authentication-service/).
## Status
This repository is the production source for the authentication
service deployed by the Letro-operated homeserver. It is published
primarily to satisfy AGPLv3 §13; it is not a generally supported
open-source project and is not intended for third-party reuse.
