Question about commercial, closed-source use of a Memos fork and a Memos-style interface

[senatcapitolii]

Hi Memos team,

First of all, thank you for building Memos — it's a great project.

I'm developing a journaling product: a website and mobile apps (iPhone first, Android later). Before I release it commercially, I'd like to ask for your opinion.

The website will be a fork of the Memos codebase. The mobile apps will be generated entirely with AI, using the Memos interface as a reference, and will reproduce its style, layout and behavior. The branding will be my own: its own name, main icon and logo — I won't use the Memos name or logo. On top of that, I'm adding my own functionality and logic, designed in the same style. The interface icons come from the open-source Lucide library, which Memos also uses. I'd like to keep the interface very close to Memos, possibly almost identical, and sell the product.

The source code of my website fork and of the mobile apps will not be published; the product will be closed-source. I understand that the MIT License allows this, and I'm ready to comply with it (keeping the copyright notice and license text inside the product, and including Lucide's notice). Still, I'd rather ask you directly than assume, especially when it comes to the overall look of the product.

My questions:

1. Are you okay with me using a fork of Memos for the website in a paid, commercial, closed-source product?
2. Are you okay with the mobile apps, generated entirely with AI, replicating the Memos style and behavior almost one-to-one, with only the name, main icon and logo being different?
3. Would you prefer that I make visible design changes, so the products can't be confused?
4. I will not mention Memos in any advertising or promotion, and I won't imply any affiliation or endorsement. The only mention would be on the About screen: for the website, a note that the design is taken from the Memos project on GitHub (with a link), and for the mobile apps, a note that the design is based on the Memos website. Is that acceptable, and is there anything else about branding I should avoid?
5. Besides that About-screen note and the license file, is there a specific form of credit you would prefer?
6. Are there any other conditions or restrictions I should know about?

If you'd rather I not do this, I'll take your feedback seriously and adjust the design — I just want to do it the right way.

If there is a better place or person for questions about licensing and branding, please let me know and I'll gladly ask there.

Thank you for your time!

Best regards,
Senatus Capitolii
