Hi, I'm the author of Mole CLI and mole.fit.
I appreciate the attribution in th…e README, and building on an MIT-licensed CLI is totally fine.
But I have two concerns:
1. **The tagline "A free, open-source mole.fit"** directly positions this as a free replacement for my paid product, and the comparison table is designed to undercut mole.fit sales. I built the CLI for free and the GUI is how I sustain the project. Please don't market it as "the free version of my paid product."
2. **The UI and interaction design closely replicate mole.fit's visual layout, navigation structure, and overall look and feel.** The MIT license covers the CLI source code, not the GUI's design, branding, or trade dress. These are original to mole.fit and are not open-sourced.
To be frank: if this is what happens when I open-source my work, I'll have to seriously reconsider open-sourcing anything in the future, or even close-source Mole CLI entirely. That's a lose-lose for everyone.
Could you:
- Remove "A free, open-source mole.fit" from the repo description and README
- Redesign the UI to be your own rather than replicating mole.fit's layout and visual style
- Reframe the comparison table to be less adversarial
You're welcome to build your own GUI on top of `mo`, but please make it your own.
Thanks.
