But I think Andreas Tille coined the terms, and he should have a better say in this than me (of course, if he is the person that coined the terms).The person coining both these terms were me, during a sprint that Andreas Tille and Holger Levsen also attended. As far as I can see, Holger Levsen was the first to mention it it digitally¹, and Andreas Tille created the wiki page² for it. Both Holger and Andreas had preferred a single term, where I insisted there be a distinction between purely Debian-based compositions and what is nowadays more commonly known as Debian Derivative. Their recuctance towards the "Pure" variant explains why initial edits of the wiki page does not clearly distinguish between the two related concepts. It was a discussion between Holger, Andreas and me at that sprint that I was referring to in my second post in this thread:
OK! Sorry for bringing back the topic and resurrecting a (very old) argument. But given we are now settling the “deblob” issue, we are free to biting our own tail with other naming issues again 😃
