Do you mean to include, eg. derived distros including non-free software
here, or should we have a separate term for this?

Awesome summary.
That's great - it covers all bases, and it makes sense to me (as someone
who hasn't used the other terms (internal proj, subproj, metadistro,
etc) in the past. I think it would be useful for this to be added to the
Custom Debian Distro wiki (here I think:
http://wiki.debian.net/index.cgi?CustomDebian).
Thanks heaps
