I'm missing some historical context here. This article goes out of its way to compare and contrast with Bazel. Even the usage conventions, build syntax (Starlark), and RBE API are the same as in Bazel.
Did FB fork Bazel in the early days but retain basically everything about it except the name? Why didn't they just...adopt Bazel, and contribute to it like any other open source project?
