i like the idea of an alternate disk of "roughly legal" stuff (because of
licenses), it would be something like the "restricted" and
"multiverse"
repositories in Ubuntu.
But, im totally against including not-GPL (or GPL-compatible) stuff into
ReactOS, because that could lead the project into a big problem.

Look at how the Core Fonts for the Web are handled. We should have
generic drivers
that are 'good enough' to be able get online and download
the Microsoft ones if the user wants to take the risk of violating
Microsofts license.
There is a little problem however: we are talking about the file system
driver which is usually used to install the system. I don't know currently
how Windows manages to update in use boot drivers, but we'd need something
equivalent in place for this.
