I agree with everything on it except (well crafted) COCs and Python3. Your coopting charities thing is right on the money: When my kids were in second grade, their elementary school told parents we'd have a presentation on computers in school. The presentation turned out to be given by a Microsoft employee, and was nothing but a Microsoft dog and pony show. I wrote the principal later, and she wrote back and said that group wouldn't be invited back next year. I think given your definition of "Gratuitous Dependency", you should rename it to "Predatory Interdependency". When I speak of "Gratuitous Interdependency", I mean something regardless of intent, and therefore include KDE as a culprit. I'd say Predatory Interdependency is a subcategory of Gratuitous Interdependency. I never thought of this until seeing your definition. Framework Attack: I thought I was the only one offended. See http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/politics_of_dependencies.htm You created a very informative and thought provoking web page. Thanks freemedia!
