Then provide proof that it can’t be written another way. Also, no one has mentioned why ReactOS need this code. Which driver or application won’t work without this code?

I have steped in on other matters where a project developer ( was Alex also ) was attacked. Seeing that these "growing pains" of the project seem to be re-occuring ( and in diferent areas of the project ). I realize I am an outsider of the project, but none the less, i feel that an important problem is starting to rear its little ugly head: there aren't any non-developer types there to help deal with sticking to policy ( because from what i can see, the developers are to envolved with code to handle policy) and I think that in order to prevent further contamination of the code, there needs to be a single (or group) individual responsable for collecting information on how MS handles things.


In this matter, I have to say that I agree with WD and think Alex's actions were ok. He showed that if required to re-write his code, he would at least have enough of an understanding to write something that worked. I feel that Hartmut's actions are hostile, and questionable, though I do agree that the binary code doesn't lie, and a major portion of React OS binary is similar to MS'es, but in duplicating functionality, this should be expected...
