I don't know exactly when they forked, from the issue it looks like November 2020, so the portion of code that was unlicensed might just be their own contributions?
Edit: from a first glance there are a lot of commits in between from different authors, and I don't want to track all of those down, so I'd say it's probably forked illegaly.
Edit2: looking at the history of the fork, it looks like it was actually forked earlier than when this issue was posted.
