All those Slackware forks (or 'parasites' as I called them in another thread) take away from the flow of money to Slackware, Inc. without ever giving back to Slackware. It's this one-way process that makes me call them 'parasites'.

I sympathize with this point (I'm a subscriber), but I think it neglects the importance of slackware's open source foundations. Lack of income could starve slackware, but slackware wouldn't even exist without the open-source nature of the kernel and numerous other tools.
