Is this tactic of forking and rebranding some sort of open source embrace, extend, extinguish thing? I guess I shouldn’t be surprised given it’s the company that blocks scrapers and sells scraping solutions.
nah, it's plain AI stupidity, last paragraph tells it all.

(Plus, their scraper always obeys robots.txt. If every scraper was like that, no one would ever need their anti-scraper solution)
