To be sure, they're different; but they're part of one family tree.
It's like referring to "Debian/Ubuntu" when you're discussing
something where it makes absolutely zero difference which one you're
talking about. The difference between using LibreOffice and using
OpenOffice is nothing compared to the difference between working with
either of the above and putting a literal in your code.
