Daijr, etc. separate them; GG5 has this in the 事による entry. I think they are different enough.

  Comments:
there's an entry for ことによる already, but i think the subtle difference in meaning here is worth its own entry.  i was confused at first trying to make sense of "depending on the circumstances/due to" + と in the context of what i was reading.
