The quoted comment does say

> Unfortunately, they have already merged a version of this code into the private gitea repo and are charging $$ for it.

So if they can be trusted at face value, "a version of this code" means it's the same code, and would be an incorrect way of describing "an analogous feature with an unrelated implementation". But they could be making a mistake, of course.

Yeah, I read that. I'm just not prepared to rule out a mistake, either. For example, to play devil's advocate, if Gitea decided they didn't like this code but did want an audit feature, they might throw together their own. (Which would still be a bit of a dick move, but not on the same level.)
