FOSS is a gift. Gratitude is the normal social response to gifts. Nobody was forced to use Setuptools. Or at least, the Setuptools developers themselves did not force anyone to use Setuptools.

??? Depends on the giver.

Don't remember the story (I don't like Dickens), but he wrote a wonderful short about about a Christmas meal thrown for "the deserving" (or maybe undeserving).

Oh - and as far as development "aid" is concerned, most gift horses most definitely SHOULD be looked in the mouth.

Cheers,
