Can't blame you too much though. If you go by normal semantics, it is a slightly modified clone, because it is almost completely identical and the publisher of the cloned (normal) sofware didn't do much but copy it.

The software term "clone" would be more of an almost identical reconstruction, as someone analyzed the software and build a new software which happens to have the same behaviour.

Ah, subtle semantics. They are why talking about what something does is fun.
