No, it's not a Lua fork.
The FAQ at https://www.lua.org/faq.html#1.7 says:
1.7 - What do I call software derived from Lua?
[...] If the syntax and the semantics of the language (that
is, the parser and the virtual machine) remain the same,
then the language is still Lua. If you simply add new
libraries, or even replace the standard Lua libraries with
your own libraries, the language is still the same, and you
don't need to (and probably shouldn't) give it a completely
different name.
