DirectX is a bad example, it's now a part of Windows and you don't ship it anymore.

Good point (and shows that I am not a video game developer). I had tried to pick DirectX as something that would follow fao_'s example of game developers. The point still holds in the general case, though as you pointed out, not in the case of DirectX in particular.
