All right, I got everyone's name that was interested and I'll be 
publishing the RPM on a private FTP and e-mail you the username/password.

Hi,

Sorry, only ReactOS Developers can apply.

Best regards,

It sounds fishy to me... for one, you can freely download the tarball
of VMware by registering and just downloading it. If you enter a trial
key, you are restricted to the 30 days. If you enter a purchased key,
you are not restricted in use. (I do not know if other keys exist, but
it's likely that ff they do, the same binaries operate accordingly).

Plus, are you even authorised to do this or are these illegit keys?
I'd watch out about this too, since you do not have a vmware.com email
address.

Hi Mike,

I don't know if you were being sarcastic, playing a joke, or making 
serious doubts.

My name is Alex Ionescu and I am one of the lead kernel developers on 
ReactOS, as well as the User-Mode Networking designer, working on all 
winsock-related DLLs and NSP/LSP support (a great part of the original 
code was written by Casper Hornstup, so credit must go there as well). I 
am also the JANITOR Program Manager and Founder, and a current nominee 
for the Kernel Coordinator position. Finally, I am the official group 
contact on Freenode for ReactOS, as well as the current manager of the 
ReactOS swag store on cafepress, which I'll finish up this week.

Now, bearing all that in mind, do you really, really think that I am 
about to send our core developers a corrupted, infected or pirated copy 
of VMWare 5.0 along with illegit keys, thereby jeopardizing this entire 
project, the developers, and my own position and life?

Best regards,
Alex Ionescu
