IANAL, but the sources are for the kernel only. This does not include the UI and other DLLs built on top of the kernel. If we know what DLLs the sources correspond to, shouldn't the students be restricted to not contributing to those DLLs only (just like if you use Visual Studio you can't contribute to the ATL or the C/C++ runtime libraries)?
Also, this shouldn't prevent those people contributing to the Wine tests.
This is the way I feel it should be done, with some sort of reasonable timeframe but Its up to Alexandre or the SFLC to decide. I mean Wine is 15 years old, lets assume it lives another 15 years, is someone that has a license at the university now, unable to write ntoskrnl 15 years from now. Hell even Linus had a copy of the Lyons book that contained a rip off of Unix sources...
Am I correct in this, or does the taint impact all of Wine?
Its up to Alexandre and the SFLC to clear this issue up. Its starting to get raised often enough that I think clarification is warranted.
