I requested it to be deleted, because it makes no sense given where the project is going.
- There will be no MultiMC branding included in the sources -- the license does not give you the right to the name/logo/etc.
- Large parts of the launcher will not function unless you provide your own API keys (starting with MSA, but I will expand that to all functionality that requires third party services)
The request was granted.
I want it to be super clear where MultiMC comes from (multimc.org only currently), who makes it and who is responsible for the official builds. MultiMC has to be well behaved towards the Microsoft Identity Platform and I had to accept the terms and conditions of it. Same goes for the other things that require API tokens or IDs. You do not have any sort of agreement with Google when it comes to analytics.
If you make your own build based on the code, then you are responsible for it and any user data processing it does where this is required by the third parties involved.

Please note that it is illegal to distribute the binaries created with this script due to MultiMC's licensing. You're still fine using/distributing the PKGBUILD itself to build a local package that you won't redistribute.
If you have any issues please report them here as upstream seems unwilling to cooperate with people who are using anything other than their official binary distribution of the software.
