For what is worth it, the lucide forked project could definitely cause legal problems for users, since it is obviously breaking this project's license agreement. Quote from the MIT license in this repository:

The lucid fork has changed the license and removed the MIT copyright notice and clause along with the contribution history of the original project. I would adivse caution, unless they have a written permission from this project's copyright holder to do so.
