i just meant it is hard for one not to look at code available :) i think you would agree with me.
Technically, the windows source code was made available for a while, but that doesn't mean it's allowed to use it.
Some universities/companies have legal access to windows source code for research, but again, those people can't contribute to wine.
So no matter how tempting it is, if you'd like to contribute to wine, don't look at ReactOS code. Wine has to be squeaky clean.
