Replace AGPL-3.0 with Apache License 2.0 across the repository and update related documentation and metadata. Remove legacy RustDesk-specific architecture docs, delete deprecated Dockerfile.hbbr, rename Dockerfile.hbbs → Dockerfile.server and update docker-compose / install scripts to use it. Add Apache license headers to protobuf defs, remove obsolete web service (hbbsApi.js), and adjust README, CONTRIBUTING and PROJECT_STRUCTURE to reflect the license and commercial/clean-room notices. Includes a small formatting tweak in client_api_handlers.go.

## Clean-Room Implementation Notice
|
|
|
|
BetterDesk Server (`betterdesk-server/`) is an independent, clean-room
|
|
implementation of the RustDesk rendezvous and relay protocol. It contains
|
|
**no code derived from the RustDesk project**. The server implements published
|
|
protocol specifications for client compatibility, similar to how any HTTP
|
|
server implements the HTTP protocol without being derived from Apache or Nginx.
|
|
|
|
BetterDesk Console (`web-nodejs/`) is an entirely original Node.js/Express
|
|
web application. It has no code-level dependency on RustDesk.
|
|
|
|
Protocol definitions (`.proto` files) describe message formats for
|
|
interoperability and are not derived from any copyrighted source code.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
## Archive Directory Exclusion
|
|
|
|
The `archive/` directory (excluded from distribution via `.gitignore`) contains
|
|
deprecated code from earlier development phases, including legacy Rust-based
|
|
server binaries and source code licensed under AGPL-3.0. These files are
|
|
**NOT covered by this Apache 2.0 license** and retain their original AGPL-3.0
|
|
licensing. They are preserved locally for historical reference and migration
|
|
tooling only and are never included in releases, packages, or Docker images.
|
|
|
|
Earlier commits in this repository's git history may contain AGPL-3.0 licensed
|
|
files that were part of the project when it was originally released under
|
|
AGPL-3.0. The license change to Apache 2.0 applies to the current and all
|
|
future versions of the active codebase (`betterdesk-server/` and `web-nodejs/`).
|
|

|
## Trademark Notice
|
|
|
|
"RustDesk" is a trademark of the RustDesk Team. BetterDesk is an independent
|
|
project that implements the RustDesk protocol for client compatibility. Use of
|
|
the name "RustDesk" in this project is purely descriptive (indicating protocol
|
|
compatibility) and does not imply affiliation with or endorsement by the
|
|
RustDesk Team.
