Because you do seriously believe that ReactOS developers reversed the Windows notepad?! Along with Solitaire & calculator, I suppose? Common sense is a powerful tool, let's make use of it :-).
It's a matter of trust. If a person is known to use illegal practices to write ReactOS code then even adding one line of code to notepad makes her/his contribution dangerous for the entity accepting that code.
For the record, ReactOS as well disallows any person who has seen the Microsoft Windows code to comment, contribute, commit to the project.
That's just a blanket statement, nothing more. It's hard to believe to it if the person(s) publicly accused in using leaked code still commit to ReactOS without any limitation.
