If it starts fresh, it's not a fork. A fork would share the portion of the original blockchain from before the fork.
People say this about Litecoin all the time, that it's a fork of Bitcoin. It is not, it is a direct copy with modifications.
Monero has the same or similar relationshio to Bytecoin, they never shared the same blockchain.
