Nope, separate projects.

Theirs is java, we are php.

Theirs is windows, we are linux.

They don't mention a database, I'm sure they're using something, we
target Postgres (though our methodology is platform-neutral).

They look like a code generator, while ours uses libraries + data
dictionary on web server layer, and only generates code on the db server.

Finally, we are "radically table oriented", focusing entirely on
automating software development based on a detailed database
specification which includes derived values and security. They use UML,
while we have a CSS-like way of specifying tables as in:

table customers {
module: ar;
description: customers;
column customer { primary_key: Y; uisearch: Y; }
....
more columns and stuff
....
}
