Possible copyright compliance issues #5

Description

@lun-4

Patchcord requests original discord assets from canary.discord.com, as seen in the litecord.blueprints.static module defined here: https://github.com/dolfies/patchcord/blob/ec53058f9c8feb5739e46850609990057fb96be1/litecord/blueprints/static.py#L242

As the material provided in that URL is, by default, copyrighted to Discord, modifying/patching it in code means that Patchcord is serving derivative works from Discord's own code. Because of this mechanism, this leaves that whole section of code up into legal hot water on if this is "fair use" under current copyright law (I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice. I am communicating a possible issue that Discord will, most likely, not see under a good light).
