Re: [ros-dev] I want to develop the kernel of ReactOS, how do i join????

I don't know what kind of crack you guys (except Ged and Aleksey) are on.

Also, sorry for sounding arrogant, but what the hell do some random ML
subscribers and project testers have to do in responding to an
official request? Who are you to give this guy advice and give your
opinions on wether or not you "think" that he should or should not
commit.

The rules (and again, since people seem to forget this, they ARE
rules, and they ARE documented) prohibit development of any ReactOS
code if you've seen MS source. That includes "advice" and
"documentation". The only exceptions are things like the WRK, where a
student has signed an agreement with MS to view only a specific part
of the OS kernel. That student can then commit code to say, shell32,
or the font viewer, or even win32k.sys. However, someone who has
ILLEGALLY commited IP theft, and, additionally, seen a source code
base that encompasses the ENTIRE NT tree (winnt source leaks even have
the CRT and boot loader in there, and the linker, nothing is safe!)
needs to stay as far away from this project as possible.
Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
