Hi, if I fork mattermost-server from github and change it to work with SAML, is it ok? And, if ok, how I can share back to the community? (as mattermost-server is GNU AGPL v3.0)

@zgordan-vv did you end up creating a fork with SAML support? I’m looking for the same thing. We’re a non-profit education program with need for single-sign-on, but can’t justify their per-user pricing.
