Much of the Wall Street jargon one reads in the financial pages, such as "blue chip" stocks is taken from the game of poker.
be taken from and be derived from are slightly different right?
In my view, "be taken from" is to say that the exact same quote (or the look) was used and was taken from the game of poker.
