Paul, et. al,
I would like to confirm Paul's comments regarding the etymology remix.
I am the person who first came up with it and used it, and if I remember
correctly that was in a taping session for some Red Hat promotional
material (maybe red hat magazine) in the FUDCon at the the run up to
F7. Actually, I had been using it for some time before that but that
was the first time we officially all kind of agreed that we liked it and
adopted it.
I remember it because I came up with the phraseology because I was
working a lot with creative commons at the time.
Max Spevack can confirm.
