Memory info is available from lshw, though they are a GPL code:
*-bank:0
description: DIMM Synchronous 1333 MHz (0.8 ns)
product: M393B1K70DH0-YH9
vendor: 0x80CE
physical id: 0
serial: 0x85B5FED3
slot: DIMM_A1
size: 8GiB
width: 64 bits
clock: 1333MHz (0.8ns)
Not sure how they are getting it, but I can have someone look at the code to
see where the info is being obtained.
