[ros-dev] Audit for non-code things?

[theUser BL]

I have tried out the SVN-Snapshot of ROS 3.0 by EmuandCo:
http://www.reactos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1741#14146

At first, I want to say, that the ReactOS-Explorer looks a lot of nicer. And 
some bugs are fixed. Nice work.

Then I have looked at the program-icons.
sol.exe and winefile.exe seems to use icons from old Windows-Versions 
(Windows 3.x/95/98/NT4).
And with taskmgr.exe I am not sure, if the icon is from Windows or at own 
designed.
All three programs comming from WINE and not from ReactOS. But is legal to 
using it?

More woders me the new ReactOS Notepad.
If you click on Help -> About, then there opens a window where stands:
  Icon borrowed from Notepad2 - http://www.flos-freeware.ch/notepad2.html

But Notepad2 have borrowed it from Microsofts WindowsXP Notepad.
It is funny to see, how the original creater of the icon, isn't named - but 
instead
of it, an other one is named.
But the program notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/) is 
OpenSource (GPL) and thats icon you could be used.

After that, I looked with Microsofts fontview.exe (the program is part of 
every MS-Windows) in the text inside the fonts of ROS.
There are copyrighted fonts by Adobe, Bitstream, IBM, Sun and Transgaming.
And there are some Bitstream fonts in which stands:
Copyright 1990 as an unpublished work by Bitstream Inc. All rights reserved. 
Confidential.

Confidential? Unpublished? From where comes then the fonts?
The fonts in which this stand are
c0419bt_.ttf, c0582bt_.ttf, c0583bt_.ttf, c0611bt_.ttf, c0632bt_.ttf, 
c0633bt_.ttf,
c0648bt_.ttf and c0649bt_.ttf.
Ok, the Copyright is from 1990 (for 16 years!), but is it legal to use this 
fonts?

Instead you could use the following fonts:

http://linuxlibertine.sourceforge.net/
