Hi all
Vizzini has spent a lot of time writing a ReactOS IP Policy Document; he's also had it reviewed by lawyers. I agree what's written here, and would like to get some feedback from the community before we publish it as our official policy.
Regards Jason
Structured well, reads fluently and is not overly technical.
There were 2 things, for me, that weren't made clear: - The issue of using the same names for the OS API Although this is the only way, are there no copyright infringements in doing this? - Using the same names for interface components (e.g. start, control panel, explorer) Again, do Microsoft not have some form of copyright on this?
I picked up 2 small mistakes. 2b) While coding style may not 'be' covered by copyright, There is a '>' at the start of 'TRADE SECRET ISSUES'. Probably left over from email
