Re: [ros-dev] Re: New OS built on ReactOS and WinuxOS technology!

I'm seeing parallels between the ReactOS/HostilliX Spat (And indeed,
the ReactOS/EkushOS Spat), and the PearPC/CherryOS Spat.

In reply to Rafal, ROS is not a 'Clone' of Windows. A Clone is,
essentually, a 1:1 copy of something. If you build something from
scratch, and program it to accept program instructions from a Specific
Architecture, that is not 'cloning'.

As long as the GPL is obeyed, there shouldn't be a problem... we hope.
