I understand you. I'll read GPL License well and if I break it, i'll repair all sources and copyrights. Today you're in ReactOS Team and I wrte Based on ReactOS Technology, so it's legal for me, but for reliability i'll check it.
If I broke GPL license, i'm sorry. I'll repair it.
Yours faithfully, Rafal Kupiec

Rafal,
I am checking out your kernel code (because what's what I work in) and I noticed you've removed all notices of my copyright on those files. I cannot speak for other developers, but for myself, I am disgusted and pissed. I retain all copyright on the code that I've written (which means about 40% of your kernel) and I demand for my name and contact information to be re-added to your sources. What you are doing is illegal under copyright law. You cannot take a book, rip out the copyright notice and write "WRITTEN BY RAFAL KUPIEC". I am willing to assume that you've made an honest mistake. I'm hoping that you will change the files which contain my copyright on them to reflect this. I assume other developers would want the same, but I cannot legally speak up for them.
Best regards, Alex Ionescu
