of the open source movement. If you want MS to change their practices and start embracing this practice, it's not by denying them the right to have their code used that you're going to be helping things. By denying their code, you're just acting selfishly like a child and will make them think twice about what the whole point of Open Sourcing software is, if they're still bring treated like shit?
See my reply to Mike about using MS Fonts and WIX as addons to ReactOS. I have no problem with that. Even the WTL as a download or extra lib in rosapps is fine with me. I just am arguing for no Microsoft code in ReactOS Core so to speak. This way some company that may be building services around ReactOS can clearly say "This is a 100% independent implementation. If anyone would like me to explain situations I know of where the business has wanted a 100% Microsoft solution I am happy to speak about it in private.
