Liked this part the most.
Giving back is one of the main principles which drive FOSS.
A distro which is based on another one SHOULD give the work it does back 
to the one it is based on.
A distro which uses a FOSS program SHOULD give back the patches it 
creates to upstream.
If a distro manages to translate KDE it SHOULD commit the translations 
upstream.

Very close relationships with upstream is one of the main things which 
makes me use Fedora (well at thirst it was bleeding edge software, but 
it's just a result of following upstream closely).
And that's the main problem I have with FreeBSD. I don't like the 
concept of a "base" packages, which have been forked years ago.
And also I don't like the idea of writing "our own grep", "our own 
find", "our own date", ...
That's the way I thought when I was 12. I did't like using "other's" 
software: I wanted to have "my own".
That's the way Microsoft did with OOXML. They did't want to use 
"other's" standards, they wanted to have their own "standard".
And even more... They didn't want to use "other's" standard for storing 
dates, they wanted to have their own "standard".

PS: The last part seems to be off-topic :)
