Will ROS and WINE still be steady be synchronized ?

[theUser BL]

Hi!

I have also ask the question in a mail in the ROS-Mailinglist -- until now 
there comes now answer.
http://www.reactos.org/archives/public/ros-dev/2007-August/009718.html

Will ReactOS and WINE still be steady synchronized?

ROS have for example an other Notepad.exe and an other Wordpad.exe
The WineMINE have on ROS the colors of the original Windows WinMine.

And the cards.dll have other cards.
AT first it used the cards of
http://nifty.stanford.edu/2004/EstellCardGame/
But after the comment of
http://www.reactos.org/archives/public/ros-dev/2007-July/009625.html
it used the cards at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/macsolitairex

WINE on the other side used since the beginning of its cards.dll the 
Microsoft copyrighted cards, which are also part of MS-Windows.


So, for me it seems, that ROS and WINE goes two different ways since some 
time without syncronizing the source-codes, which can be used for both 
projects.

Is that true?

And if yes: Why?

Oh, I have seen, that Ged have been answert at
http://www.reactos.org/archives/public/ros-dev/2007-August/009725.html

And he write

"Wine doesn't use ReactOS code, so it will never be back synched."

Why?

Because some people at WINE think, that ROS is illegal without any evidence 
?

First of all I'd suggest to use real name if you expect to be not ignored.
Next, please take some time to study the subject on your own, and not blame
Wine people taking actions without evidence, or in ignorance.

I think the colours of Wine's WineMine were chosen deliberately.

Wine is not using the Microsoft cards.

ReactOS has been known for disassembling Microsoft binaries, which is illegal 
in some countries, notably the US.  We want anyone to be able to work on and 
use Wine without fear of getting sued, therefore we cannot accept code from 
ReactOS unless it somehow can be established that it has not been 
disassembled.

There is nothing preventing ReactOS from borrowing Wine code, however.

As far as I understand this, if I disassemble Microsoft binaries (it is
legal in Israel), then the resulting knowledge is legal to use -
anywhere (in other words - the only one who can be sued is me, and the
jurisdiction is Israel, where the action is legal). Do RoS people
disassemble binaries in countries in which it is illegal to disassemble
them?
