however, the AGPL enforcement attempt against hiveway shows yet again that whoever @Gargron has running the mastodon twitter account, as well as much of the mastodon community, have a misunderstanding about what the AGPL requires.

AGPL only requires disclosure of the source code *running that specific install*, not the parent of the fork. so linking to http://github.com/hiveway would surely be AGPL compliant.

in other words, if you are running a Mastodon *fork*, your *fork* should actually be linking to the github repo of your fork.

with all of this said, obviously it would be polite to credit mastodon in a fork, so definitely do that.

but i'm not your lawyer, and this isn't legal advice.
