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.
