Why do Netflix claim this is a "Netflix Original"?

Just a few questions: Ok, so Netflix bought Lilyhammer from NRK (the Norwegian government-owned radio and television public broadcasting company), and I understand that they obviously paid the film makers alot of money so they can implement their logo or name before the show starts, but wouldn't it be more precise to say "Netflix presents..." rather than "A Netflix Original Series"? I mean, it is not a "Original" series, is it? Why do they call it "Original" when it was aired in Norway way before it was "aired" (released) on Netflix? Just curious why Netflix even have the right to claim this when it was procuced in Norway, by Norwegians, for Norwegians. Netflix make it look like they produced it, when in reality they are more like a super market who bought a product from a producer. It would be the same as if 7/11 sold Coca-Cola with their a commercial saying: "A 7/11 Original Product". Do Netflix call it "Original" because it only airs through Netflix in America? In that case, I think they promote in this way to tricking people into believing that they produced it. Any how, the fact that it reach over 130 countries all over the world, is of course fun, but Netflix does not have anything to do with that (except of course some promotion).
