Hi guys
Due to the nature of the project, ReactOS is a legal minefield. It is easy (and almost required) to point fingers and its also natural to get offended at too much finger pointing. But we need to handle this a lot better.
1) Until someone acts to prove differently, assume everyone is acting in good faith and wants to help 2) Respect that others in the project have the right to query in origins of your code (comes with the 'legal minefield' territory) 3) Separate the 'work' from the 'person' as much as possible during this type of debate; its shouldn't have to get personal!
I realize that a lot of this is my fault; the IP paper is not yet published - I'll rectify this shortly. When there are grey areas we need to decide how we're going to act and publish this in the IP paper.
We can't expect more proof from some committers than others; we must decide on the guidelines for all developers and judge everyone according to the same standard.
Regards Jason
