CBOR isn't merely _inspired_ by MessagePack. cbor-ruby forked a Ruby MessagePack implementation. Its format is conceptually and fundamentally the same.
As for the rest of the process, that HN post I linked to has a basket of links at the end which are a good summary of what happened. I still (as I wrote before) won't characterize events, I think people should make up their own mind about it. But I think it's not biasing to reiterate:
> At least cbor-ruby started with the MessagePack sources. The story is that Carsten took MessagePack, wrote a standard and added some things he wanted, and called it something else.
