But you don't feel the same about "You need the gnu C library" or
"gnu C compiler" or "Berkeley Yacc" or "Apache webserver" or or that
matter "Linux"...
Its only a problem if the library you really need makes it impossible to
port the app over surely ?

IMHO it is the same in all cases. It's about credit. Whether you'd keep
the command line redhat-config-foo on a non RH system is a different
matter altogether.
