From a glance, it looks like Silverbullet does almost all the same things, without having features behind a paywall. No build in MCP, but there are third parties, and not as much granularity in the permissions for each user. But OIDC and multiple spaces with real time editing, @ mentions and much more.

Forking is fine afaik - license snippet
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
I ran Docmost for a little while during my attempt to find a good place to put my self hosting documents and notes. It’s pretty good for a free version, I never used any SSO features though. My only problem with it was that it used like 600MB of memory just to sit there and serve static markdown files very occasionally.
Can't answer the license stuff, but I've been using Docmost with a group of six other friends for about a year now and have enjoyed it. Mildly annoyed about some features locked on my fully self hosted and private instance but hasn't been enough of an annoyance that I've cared to look for an alternative. We use it pretty regularly.
My actual biggest complaint is I made a feature suggestion a long time ago which someome was very kind enough to program and add a pull request, but the maintainer refuses to implement. Oh well.
