What I mean is that software that could be useful in several contexts, like a plotting library, should enable the possibility of pluging it in to a larger software project. That way, several projects would benefit/profit from the effort and expertise of the authors of the software library. > When you say "minimize duplication of effort," whose labor costs are > you referring to? People/projects needing the functionality provided by the library would not have to implement it, thus avoiding a duplication of effort. > And if this work is so valuable to the profit-taker / cost-avoider, > why aren't they already investing in a solution? I do not understand why are you being so defensive/aggressive. My understanding is that most people in the Racket community are academics and so are many scientists. As is well known, most scientists are not paid for writing software, we do not have time to do it and most of us lack the training. Therefore, what we try to do is to use the tools that are available. I came to this forum asking for advice on integrating Racket libraries with free software projects, not on using them for commercial purposes. I hope that I can receive a better response than "Why don't you write your own plotting library?".
