   * ### What are the differences compared to standard DSM?
 
     There are only two minor differences: the Virtual Machine Manager package is not provided and Surveillance Station doesn't include any free licenses.
+    
+  * ### Is this project fully legal?
+
+    Yes, this project contains only open-source code and does not distribute any copyrighted material. Neither does it try to circumvent any copyright protection measures. So by all applicable laws this project should be considered legal. 
+    
+    However by installing Synology's Virtual DSM you must accept their end-user license agreement, which does not permit installation on non-Synology hardware. So only run this project on a official Synology NAS via the Container Manager package, as any other use will be a violation of their terms and conditions.
