Very confused about Notes relationship to Plume and Daino notes (commercial applications)

[Darthagnon]

I was googling around the other day, and came across Daino Notes f.k.a. Plume Notes, f.k.a. Notes, which looks to be an exact clone of this application. The update prompt in the Notes application downloaded from Github releases here points to a Daino website (not the homepage but https://www.daino.io/?utm_source=app_update_window). This mess of conflicting branding, conflicting brand names, closed-source and open-source packages is worrying - has the application been acquired a la Audacity? Or is this a domain squatter trying to spread malware by supply-chain infiltration?
