Audit doesn't touch only source code -- it does touch artwork also.
Thanks for your information - I think mf is familiar with artwork, and could
audit it, and fix such errors. And I know he already began the process -
results were in the 'audited' repository, and should have been transferred
to
.
WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.

Subject: [ros-dev] Audit for non-code things?
I have tried out the SVN-Snapshot of ROS 3.0 by
EmuandCo:
http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1741#14146
At first, I want to say, that the ReactOS-Explorer looks a lot of nicer.
And some bugs are fixed. Nice work.
Then I have looked at the program-icons.
sol.exe and winefile.exe seems to use icons from old Windows-Versions
(Windows 3.x/95/98/NT4).
And with taskmgr.exe I am not sure, if the icon is from Windows or at own
designed.
All three programs comming from WINE and not from ReactOS. But is legal to
using it?
More woders me the new ReactOS Notepad.
If you click on Help -> About, then there opens a window where stands:
Icon borrowed from Notepad2 -
http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html
But Notepad2 have borrowed it from Microsofts WindowsXP Notepad.
It is funny to see, how the original creater of the icon, isn't named -
but instead
of it, an other one is named.
But the program notepad++ (
http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/) is
OpenSource (GPL) and thats icon you could be used.
After that, I looked with Microsofts fontview.exe (the program is part of
every MS-Windows) in the text inside the fonts of ROS.
There are copyrighted fonts by Adobe, Bitstream, IBM, Sun and Transgaming.
And there are some Bitstream fonts in which stands:
Copyright 1990 as an unpublished work by Bitstream Inc. All rights
reserved. Confidential.
Confidential? Unpublished? From where comes then the fonts?
The fonts in which this stand are
c0419bt_.ttf, c0582bt_.ttf, c0583bt_.ttf, c0611bt_.ttf, c0632bt_.ttf,
c0633bt_.ttf,
c0648bt_.ttf and c0649bt_.ttf.
Ok, the Copyright is from 1990 (for 16 years!), but is it legal to use
this fonts?
Instead you could use the following fonts:
http://dejavu.sourceforge.net/
http://linuxlibertine.sourceforge.net/
