Even if hostlix guys wanted to help ReactOS team, they couldn't. From
ReactOS Development Policy:
8b) Developers who have had access to proprietary source code that
would have
originally fallen under trade secret protection (including, for
example,
the leaked Microsoft Windows source code) are a special case. The
copyright issues are unchanged, as are the patent issues, but any
developer who has the code is clearly either under an NDA or else does
not have a license to possess the code. In the latter case, there
is a
clear violation of the relevant trade secrets by the developer. As
such,
this kind of code is unsuitable even for research and
understanding. It
is the policy of the Project to not take submissions from
developers who
have or use any such proprietary code in their development efforts for
ReactOS.
All thouse hostlix guys have seen leaked windows source code and can not
contribute to ReactOS.
No changes made to hostlix code can be merged back to ReactOS.
