Yeah, I don't care about these terms at all. I'm happy to get directory integration working, or to proxy SAML from elsewhere (as long as it conforms to the minimal SAML I'm willing to speak).

You should care about these terms while building and marketing software in the space. I'm not saying you're being deceitful, however, almost anyone who read your description assumed your offering to have feature parity with AWS SSO, but the feature list probably is closer to AWS Cognito. An open alternative to Cognito might be sufficient for most, but is still not the same as a comprehensive SSO manger
I think we're just going to put it on Github for now and say "here's this thing and here's what it can do" and not worry too much about an Eric and Al Ries-approved Positioning marketing strategy. Not giving a shit about stuff is pretty liberating. :)
