This a comparison of the src folders using Meld: https://postimg.cc/sM2HDP7G

In the scrollbars on the right, blue is modified, green is new, black is equal. Only a handful of hooks, helpers and simple components are still the same. 90% sounds quite far from reality.

Not that I think the lack of credit given to the original project isn’t scummy, but… it’s just someone being an asshole, not much you can do about that.

Yes, I have verified that the changes aren’t trivial.

Our project includes near 100% test coverage, and enterprise features that any serious development shop will require.

ISO27000/27001 compliance is a big start in non trivial changes.
