While we don't need permission to copy the gameplay aspect (peppy didn't copyright "clicking circles" yet right?)
we do need permission for the assets and the overall brand name (even if we don't, I wouldn't want to do without.
We were made clear that we should not use the name "osu!xxx" since that could be confused with something official.
It's our primary goal to make osu! more accessible from anywhere by making it playable through the browser
but we also plan to expand on some aspects of "osu!". Peppy did copy the gameplay of osu! and other games
too, but he expanded on it and built a community around it.
We will try to add something unique to it too, but whatever that is... We still need to figure it out^^
