It certainly seems to be a MySQL 5.6 fork (or at least backend ala InnoDB or similar), as the docs explicitly call out MySQL 5.6 compatibility. I feel like I wouldn't say "simply" though; that makes it seem like some guys at Amazon checked out the MySQL source, deleted some stuff and then released this.
