in your view if Soni made a copy of Lua and did not change the

changes that does not count as a fork? Even if the new libraries offer
functionality not present in vanilla Lua?

No, in both cases, it's not a fork. That's what the FAQ says.

If someone changes an opcode in the VM to bring old behaviour back (like lua 5.3.4's OP_SELF only accepting strings), is that a fork?
