Don't be suprised if your patch isn't accepted. ReactOS is considered a dirty reverse engineering project by many, and Alexandre has rejected patches using their code before.
I thought they started auditing their code and removing any "dirty" parts?
At least for me their "auditing" mostly looks like a way to show to the outside world that they are considering to avoid dirty practices when they actually didn't change anything except public claims.
And according to their website this process is nearly done.
What they want people should think about their project has nothing to do with real state of affairs.
btw. using their code as documentation to implement something on wine should be safe nevertheless, shouldn't it?
Not really IMO, nobody can hide their history, and all the things about attempts to compile stolen Windows sources and disassembling practices.
