+* Do not disable or nerf [driver monitoring](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/tree/master/selfdrive/monitoring)
+* Do not disable or nerf [excessive actuation checks](https://github.com/commaai/openpilot/tree/master/selfdrive/selfdrived/helpers.py)
+* If your fork modifies any of the code in `opendbc/safety/`:
+   * your fork cannot use the openpilot trademark
+   * your fork must preserve the full [safety test suite](https://github.com/commaai/opendbc/tree/master/opendbc/safety/tests) and all tests must pass, including any new coverage required by the fork's changes
+
+Failure to comply with these standards will get you and your users banned from comma.ai servers.
