I thought Baen eBooks wasn't a wholly owned subsidiary of Baen?
Webscriptions was certainly a seperate legal entity but I'm not sure if the revamp has changed things.
I suppose we could call Baen eBooks whatever the distributor equivalent of an agency publisher is as they have multiple publishers who sell there under agency terms but elsewhere under wholesaler terms
