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.

I've seen one or two comments popping up on some news sites in

mistakenly believe this term originated with Canonical and/or Ubuntu.
That is not the case. During the run-up to release of Fedora 7, back
in the spring and summer of 2007, we were already talking about the
remix concept being a part of Fedora. In fact, those tools were a
major release feature.
I wanted to put this information out in B&W for the Marketing team so
you can discuss how we can best put the idea forward. I would rather
this be more of a pro-active move than having to find misinformation
and step on it.
