Centralized.

If "working on them" does not include doing any commits, then I suppose
that's true. But one of the things you get used to with a DVCS and miss
when you don't have it is the ability to commit willy nilly, go wild
with experiments, and then revise those commits, perhaps "squash" a
string of smaller commits into fewer more coherent ones, all before
pushing them to a repository where others can see them.

There is no equals sign. Some of them do have checkouts that include
preventing others from making changes to whatever is checked out. This
is a traditional way of doing things that's ok for a small team but
doesn't scale.
