Why did that big chunk of MS's support database text got into our codebase? Even not edited, so that I can read up about "tax form 1040 would not print correctly" in ReactOS Source code? What is the use from it?
What would anyone outside of the US need to know about the 1040? LOL!
Providing URL is quite enough, though, if I don't mistake (I'm not up to date with their position), Wine is already removing URLs from source code because they should be kept somewhere else. Source code is source code, not a collector to store everything. There is no point in sticking various garbage into reactos source code with a note "so it doesn't get lost", we've come over that point quite a few years ago.
Wine? Must I?
I guess we can rewrite the data and post it in a blog. Include the pointer to the url and include a copy of the page just for safe keeping. I noticed many changes on the web that had hard to come by data is going away. Having archives to prove our changes are legitimate is a wise choice. Soon everyone from M$ will start posting that we are coping from the leaked source,,,, oh that has already happened!
