-* David A. Wheeler [started a thread](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2023-May/002968.html) noting that the [OSSGadget project's oss-reproducible tool](https://github.com/microsoft/OSSGadget/tree/main/src/oss-reproducible/README.md) was measuring something related to but not the same as reproducible builds. They had adopted the term “semantically reproducible build” term for what it measured, which they defined as being "if its build results can be either recreated exactly (a bit for bit reproducible build), or if the differences between the release package and a rebuilt package are not expected to produce functional differences in normal cases." This [generated a significant number of replies](https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2023-May/thread.html#2968). Several were concerned that people might confuse what they were measuring with reproducible builds. After discussion, the OSSGadget developers decided to [switch to the term "semantically equivalent"](https://github.com/microsoft/OSSGadget/issues/426) for what they measured, to reduce the risk of confusion.
