Simon said it all, but I'll add two more details.
a) Both? There have been
five editions of RQ so far (one unpublished).
b) They are not [legally] different because Mongoose made some changes. They are because Issaries (the Trademark owner) wanted something different, yet recognizable as RQ. It was intentional. Whereas the similarities between BRP and previous editions of RQ, which are much deeper, are intentional too.
