Re: [ros-dev] Ntifs.h

[Oliver Schneider]

Hi,

given the status of this file, the team should rather refrain from using it. It's
known from the NTDEV mailing list, that there are accusations that the "author"
of this GPL'd version of ntifs.h you mention has basically stolen it.

<http://www.osronline.com/showThread.cfm?link=69329>

This has been repeatedly brought up on the list in recent years, so it may taint the
project if you use it.
