Haven Wine with Slander

[James Tabor]

Hi all!

Opt From: http://software.newsforge.com/software/06/02/01/1630225.shtml?tid=132&ti...

Jeremy White, founder and chief executive officer of CodeWeavers, which develops a commercial 
product based on Wine, said a number of developers from ReactOS have contributed to Wine, but 
several have been banned from contributing to the project because of concerns about code they 
offered. This was not necessarily because the code included something stolen or illegal, but because 
Alexandre Julliard, chief technology officer for Codeweavers, reviews the contributed code and was 
concerned about what the banned individuals had claimed as their own.

Who was banned?

Code claimed as their own?

So all ReactOS developers are bad people and banned?

So where did the Wine kernel32 handle code come from? Wine test fails on Ros why does it pass on 
Windows and Wine?

Thanks for the slander,
James

Its only slander if its spoken and Its libel if its in print.
Unfortunatly the acusation has to be false before you can claim
defamation. Alexandre rules are the same as they have always been

1. 3rd party app needs to use it.
2. test case incresses the odds of it being merged.
3. If its documented all the better.

Don't know where you are coming from? But, I see these comments in print!
These comments imply *ALL* ReactOS developers are *BANNED*! So, just because
there is one bad apple in the bunch makes these slanderous comments right?

You are of the minority opinion here,
James

The last time I checked the word several does not mean all.

"...developers from ReactOS have contributed to Wine, but several have
been banned.."

Hi all,
I don't really think this kind of flamewar is what ROS needs.
Remember, this is a community project, so I think the relationship
between community members should abide to some respect rules. If some
developers have been banned, that's all, there's no point on keep on
discussing it.
Just my two cents
