Right idea, but wrong source I think. We need a neutral party who is under a microsoft NDA but contributes code neither to microsoft's nor our codebase.
It's a service we may well wind up paying for eventually.
Thats what I was thinking....We would end up needing to pay someone to review these patches and be under the NDA from Microsoft as they would be really limited as to what other projects they could work on due to the terms of the NDA. I am willing to try and open a dialog to discuss this matter with Microsoft but as it stands right now they are avoiding us (and the Wine project) and I would like to keep it that way.
Thanks Steven
Simple solution (and the opnion of many if not all developers I think): don't take any of "their" code.
