May I summarize as follows:

COP = OOP
    + modularity (including information hiding and late binding)
    + safety (type and memory management)
    - inheritance across module boundaries

A software component is a unit of composition with contractually specified
interfaces and explicit context dependencies only.
Components can be deployed independently and are subject to composition
by third parties.

Thanks, Marc, that's useful enough.

Cheers,
Fyodor Tkachov
