> But software of any non-trivial scale is rarely written for one person. Even when it's developed according to the ideals of the Handmade movement, it will be mass-distributed. It could be written for one person and mass-distributed with the understanding that you are using software written for Bob's needs. >I'll just add here that it's precisely the economics of large-scale software distribution that allow concerns such as internationalization and accessibility to be addressed, while a solo Handmade project will probably not have these important things. You have mixed up cause and effect here. Internationalization is a concern caused by mass distribution, not an existing concern not being addressed. The same goes for accessibility. Handmade software will meet the accessibility needs of the one person it is written for. Have different accessibility needs? That is a different piece.
