Goal

Remove all Mattermost trademarks from the slash-server fork before any public distribution. Required for AGPL-3 compliance and App Store submission.

What must be scrubbed

  • "Mattermost" in UI strings, page titles, window titles, notification text
  • "Mattermost" in email notification templates (sender name, subject lines)
  • Mattermost compass logo (SVG, PNG, ICO at all sizes) → replace with Slash/NCW assets
  • Login page logo, favicon, splash screen assets
  • Default config values: SiteName, TeamSettings names, default bot usernames
  • Support/docs/ToS URLs pointing to mattermost.com → ncwcom.com equivalents
  • User agent strings identifying as Mattermost

What to retain (AGPL-3 requires it)

  • // Copyright (c) 2015-present Mattermost, Inc. on unmodified source files
  • LICENSE file unchanged
  • About screen must acknowledge Mattermost as upstream
  • A NOTICE file documenting that Slash is a fork of Mattermost

Process

  1. Run full audit: grep -rn "Mattermost" webapp/channels/src/ server/channels/ config/ i18n/ --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" --include="*.go" --include="*.json" | grep -v "// Copyright" | grep -v vendor/
  2. Categorize each hit: replace / retain / document
  3. Replace all UI-visible strings with Slash equivalents
  4. Replace logo assets with NCW/Slash brand kit assets (see NCW-Branding-KIT repo)
  5. Document every change in BRANDING_CHANGES.md
  6. Add pre-commit hook scripts/check-branding.sh to block future regressions

NCW Brand assets

  • Primary: #990066 (NCW Purple)
  • Secondary: #353535 (grey)
  • Source: git.ncwcom.com/mohlec/NCW-Branding-KIT

Acceptance criteria

  • No "Mattermost" visible in any UI screen (login, app bar, email, notifications)
  • Compass logo replaced everywhere
  • BRANDING_CHANGES.md documents all replacements
  • Pre-commit hook installed and passing
  • CI branding check passes on every PR
