Yes, the MediaWiki extension does this as well.

with
	including the JanRain library code in Drupal or listing it as an

	installation dependency.  The reasons for this are various,
including
	the fact that the library coding style is in complete
disagreement
	with that of Drupal itself.  (That the library coding style
follows
	some of the PEAR development guidelines is little more than a 
	historical artifact.)  Other PHP projects take issue with
including it
	for the same reasons; it's common for projects to shun
dependencies
	(PEAR or otherwise) and, as a result, reinvent one or more
wheels
	(templating, database abstraction, etc.).
	


There's no reason to use JanRain's libraries as 'dependancies' though...
I never have.  I just bundle them with whatever I'm distributing and my
users don't care.  Those who make us install them separately I take
issue with, but there's no compelling reason to do that, imho.
