-Drone is a Continuous Delivery system built on container technology. Drone uses a simple YAML configuration file, a superset of docker-compose, to define and execute Pipelines inside Docker containers. 
+## Yes, it's a fork
 
-<br/>
+This repository is a hard fork of the Drone CI system.
 
-<img src="https://github.com/drone/brand/blob/master/screenshots/screenshot_build_success.png" style="max-width:100px;" />
+Forked at the `0.8.9` version https://github.com/drone/drone/commit/768ed784bd74b0e0c2d8d49c4c8b6dca99b25e96
 
-Sample Pipeline Configuration:
+## Why fork?
 
-```yaml
-pipeline:
-  backend:
-    image: golang
-    commands:
-      - go get
-      - go build
-      - go test
+Drone has been an open-core project since many prior versions. With each source file indicating whether it is part of the Apache 2.0 licensed or the propritary enterprise license. In the 0.8 line the enterprise features were limited to features like autoscaling and secret vaults.
 
-  frontend:
-    image: node:6
-    commands:
-      - npm install
-      - npm test
+However in the 1.0 line, databases other than SQLite, TLS support and agent based horizontal scaling were also moved under the enterprise license. Limiting the open source version to single node, hobbyist deployments.
 
-  publish:
-    image: plugins/docker
-    repo: octocat/hello-world
-    tags: [ 1, 1.1, latest ]
-    registry: index.docker.io
+The above feature reductions and the lack of clear communication of what is part of the open-source version led to this fork.
