Curious (not trolling), if this is built off cm with other roms commits what makes it original development?

This has always been a touchy subject with a bunch of people and their opinions. I've seen many different "rules" when it comes to the term "original". Also some of those specifications have contradicted the other. I'm basically going off this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2731129

I personally don't really care which one it ends up in. As long as anyone who wants it can find it than I'm gravy ✌
