IIRC (anyone else in LAD-proper correct me) the insinuation came from using some standard boilerplate in a release announcement for the fork. The fork's release tagline outlined what open source was and how it is beneficial to users. Specifically there was mention of the fork not having any spyware/ads in it. I agree with the posted article that saying "X doesn't have Y" from the fork implies that it is a differentiating factor, but it doesn't strike me as an intentionally malicious act. More of just not being familiar how such release blurbs would be read when applied to a forked project.
