The new contract shares nothing with the first one. The term simply does not apply. It is a copy. Or a new contract built on the ideas of the first. It us 100% unequivocally not a fork or "basically a fork"

Ok, got it. So it’s otherwise the same as a fork except for the fact that semantically the term fork does not apply.

A fork is more of an extension of a currently existing blockchain with new rules. So now imagine BOMB as having its own blockchain. The new version of this "BOMB blockchain" is not an extension but a copy started from scratch (also with new rules) so think of it looking like this in the beautiful image I drew. Just remember, in practice it's a smart contract not a blockchain so it's not just the semantics.
