I used to have a web page that had diagrams of the three types of binding. It's on my other computer and I don't remember what search terms I used to find it the first time.
Their diagram is double fold binding but not French fold.
I think a big part of the confusion over the terms are from people that only sew quilts and didn't necessarily learn proper terms for sewing things from garment construction.
Found it!
