-## Design philosophy
-
-DZGUI follows a specific set of guidelines, enumerated below:
-
-- Provide a free and open-source tool under GPL
-- Do not use undocumented, third-party servers to aggregate data; no central "DZGUI" server
-- All connections go to Steam and DayZ servers directly; the tool should function in perpetuity without intermediary endpoints
-- Target Linux desktop and Steam deck specifically; not a cross-platform tool
