2-It shares the name, and is a sword. Doesn't mean it's 100% based on JC's sword.

....we don't really know how far Roosterteeth are going to go with regards to referencing the legends and story's that inspire their characters and  weapons We do know, more or less: References here and there, but small. However, the allusions will not interfere with the plot. That is, for example: it's irrelevant if Jean D'Arc died burned in the stake accused of witchery, Jaune wouldn't die like that or for the same reason. But, he may still end up burned at some point.
