Is Fossify.org legit? (github.com)

I've been browsing f-droid when I noticed a bunch of apps like "Fossify calendar" that looked similar to apps starting with "Simple" - simple gallery, simple file manager, etc. I wanted to understand more on what are the ties and apparently, simple mobile tools are no good

So does someone know if Fossify are legit? Page looks iffy but code seems to be just forks.
Anyone has some info on them?

Exactly, that's the community fork of SimpleMobileTools. However there is also Goodwy that have forked them in the name of Right Apps. Right Calendar, Right Gallery, Right Messages, Right Files and Right Contacts.
