For those of you who are wondering what this is all about, I sent Thomas
Larsen a private email. Since Thomas doesn't seem to have a problem
discussing this in public, I'm including the email below.

--- start of privately sent email
I've started committing some of your patches. However, I have a big problem:
in http://reactos.com:8080/archives/public/ros-dev/2004-December/000902.html
you said you compared ReactOS code with the leaked Windows source code. That
must mean you have looked at the leaked code. Now, our IP policy document
(see
http://reactos.com:8080/archives/public/ros-general/2005-February/001416.htm
l) clearly states (under 8b) that we cannot accept contributions from
developers who have access to the leaked code. Now, I think that the leaked
code didn't include any utilities and usermode apps, so if you submit stuff
in that area I'll look at it and if it seems ok commit (that is, if Jason
and Steven agree with me on this point). However, committing "core" stuff is
out of the question as far as I'm concerned. I do appreciate the time you're
investing in ReactOS and I fully understand you're not going to be happy
about this, but we do have the future of the project at stake here.

I'm not quite sure what you're driving at, but are you saying you 
posess(ed) the leaked sources? And - by comparing it with ReactOS/WINE - 
we must have been tainted with it? I really hope I mistook that.
