Well, the name of the "real" account is "zkevm.dev", and the previous account was zk-evm. Those are just letters to me, but it does seem like a clear link. Couldn't say that either is "real", though.
It is not. zk-evm refers to a type of blockchain. It's not a unique/singular link.

Many open source licenses have some amount of attribution as a requirement, so that'd be something to consider.
AI is actually beginning to encourage "restricted source", public-only-gets-binary debates to simply avoid such legal issues. Write a snail-mail letter to get the real sources. Repositories are private with a small well-vetted list of contributors. Also avoid slop-PR headaches that away.
