Please note that we have not demanded that the people of the Ekush project
be brought to justice. The only thing we demand is that they either stop
distributing Ekush as long as it contains our code, or comply with the GPL
by putting back copyright notices and publishing source. Since the Ekush
website is currently down, effectively stopping the distribution I don't
think we'll be taking further action.

ReactOS is quite slow today, are we under a DoS
atack?, maybe related to this ekush guy?.This is
weird.

Ekush (http://www.ekush.com) published some binaries. Surprise, surprise, it
looks like ReactOS very much (Check e.g. the radio buttons on the "Accept
License" screen during 2nd stage setup). Their readme.rtf
(epc/doc/Readme.rtf) has these entries:
<quote start>
Q. Is the OS completely written from scratch?
A. Not really in many cases, at least 50% of the components has been shared
or taken from some other projects. In fact, we mostly get the ideas and
writing them for ours. Eventually we are coding them new folks are based on
something else (in wish list) and slowly-slowly they will be removed from
our main source tree.
Q. You guys says Project published under the GPL but why dont you
published sources?
A. Initially we decided that, EKUSH should be published under the GPL. But,
still there is some confusion within the team. We are now sharing sources
between team members only and unless the confusion goes removed we cannot
publish sources.
Finally, we decided to use a BSD styled license for Ekush and sources or
binaries whatever we publish should be free to public and covered by the
same license (until a functional edition is released).
Information sources and Wish List:
Bochs, Wine, QEMU, Freetype, React OS, Nova OS, Minuet OS, Flask, Athe OS,
FreeBSD, Systernals, Flik OS, Plan 9, Fravee, V2 OS, Uranium, Fhreed JS,
Free Dos, OP OS, Jlink Wrap, NETrove, Fedora, LFS, Tiny OS, Pear PC, BartPE,
KDesktop, Line, WinPenguins, 3D Desktop,
Dr. Anil Basu, Jason Robin, William Harry, Luiz Quarteiro, Fernando Adantas,
Sergio Luiz Silva, John Abraham, Little Robin, Lina Sen, Maria, Adnan, James
Bukan, Dr. Piera and Project 21 Team."

My guess is they are in violation of the GPL by using (some of) our source
and not publishing their source.

I took a picture of the screen:
http://mike.warpedbelief.com/images/ros-crash.jpg
It crashed immediately after I hit a key during the "Press any key to
boot CD..." prompt.
I can't really figure out if any hardware could cause problems. This
is the configuration:
Pentium 120 MHz
64 MB of RAM
2 GB hard disk (I think it's Western Digital)
2 MB ET4000 video
36x CD-ROM drive
One floppy drive
The hard disk partition scheme is this:
One primary partition. FAT16. Windows NT 4 Server install on it. Takes
up the whole 2 GB.
Hello,
While you guys are working on the website changes I would like to add
that the Wine application database is GPL, in CVS and is done in PHP.

Hi,
I can't say I'm terribly overjoyed with having the /tests directory in
/ntoskrnl. Would it be possible instead to have a /tests root (on the
new SVN server) where all the tests would go? like /tests/ntoskrnl,
/tests/kmregtests etc...
I think it would make it a bit clearer...it just bugs me to have /tests
in ntoskrnl.
Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
