I have a Moodle site working. Can I take the source code from https://github.com/moodlehq/moodlemobile2 and change the branding?
Should all functionality work as it is in the original app?

Thanks Marcus for quick reply.
Do not have to pay something for using any functionality/ Web Service in the mobile app build by myself, after modifying the https://github.com/moodlehq/moodlemobile2 code?

You are going to need a Moodle site to connect to, but Moodle comes under the GPL License and is free/libre software.

just be aware that if you want your app to support mobile notifications, you will also need to build your own airnotifier server as well (airnotifier is open source so you just need somewhere to host it.) Moodle only provides airnotifier "for free" if you are using the official app. There is a lot of info in the moodledocs site on building your own app. Make sure you do some reasearch there first.

What are the benefits of airnotifier push notifications over what you would get through accessing a Moodle server via a browser?

airnotifier is responsible for the mobile notifications that pop up in your mobile device - eg doesn't require you open the browser/app - can be running in background on your device.
