I could be wrong about this, but it seems to me that the software
enabled for OS X by fink is a large part of Apples boast of "10,000
applications" available for OS X (a marketing scheme I think meant to
combat the assertion that nothing had been developed yet for OS X when
if first came out). I can appreciate (and vehemently advocate) wanting
to remain independent of any corporate entity, but I reckon Apple
should be invited to be a significant benefactor of fink in addition to
soliciting basic membership fees from users (I'm in, incidentally). It
would be pretty bad form for Apple to decline. The availability of fink
was, after all, one of the primary reasons I switched to buying
expensive prefab Macs following a long history of building my own linux
boxes.
