A comment on LineageOS will be a continuation of what CyanogenMod was.

I'm getting really confused here.

I thought CyanogenOS was a commercial venture that arose out of CyanogenMod. But that they were essentially separate protects. I'd read about CyanogenOS coming a cropper, but understood this wouldn't affect CyanogenMod. Now, these linked articles seem to be treating -OS and -Mod as the same project/same organisation.

Can anyone explain?

Cyanogen Inc (the commercial venture) owns the infrastructure and trademarks of CyanogenMod (community project). So now that they've been ditched, the CyanogenMod community has to change the name and find new infrastructure.
