It sounds like a soft reboot that is still technically a sequel. Everything from the first movie probably still happened but probably won't be referenced in Gunn's film.
The confusion seems to come from Suicide Squad producer I believe who said the film was a total reboot and Gunn who was asked if it was a reboot or sequel and replied "are those my only two choices?"
How about we call it a relaunch. That's a safe, meaningless word.
I sometimes wonder what would happen if DC were never bought by Warner Bros, and they licensed all their big A-list superheroes like Batman and Superman to other studios like Fox.

Warner Bros. never bought DC. They both were integrated into the same company--DC (actually National Periodical Publications) before Warner Bros. Studios--that company was then broken up in two, after a financial scandal, and the half that had DC and WB became Warner Communications.
