Is it a derivative of the original Bus Pirate in some way, or just reusing the name?
Both in a way. Bus Pirate, both the hardware and the software, is completely open source. It's not the same version, things are different, but it's largely inspired by it.
However, the entire implementation is new, it's not a copy
