      Hasn’t ReactOS been accused of using code that was not reverse-engineered multiple times? If they became too big MS would probably just sue them.

        From what I’ve heard they used some assembly code directly for very low level functions.

            That’s…not a legal excuse.

            In fact that’;s an open and shut end to a project if you’re caught doing it.

                It’s enough that you have read the code before implementing an alternative to get into legal trouble.

                    ?? Historically it’s been an issue where you need to prove you didn’t do it, because otherwise the companies would bury you in legal fees trying to defend yourself. You’re like…trying to argue an alternate universe to how this normally plays out.

      If you want some APIs implemented, make a feature request; you understand what you want

      Unrelated but everytime you end a sentence with an ellipsis I imagine someone’s nerdy youtube rantsona with their arms crossed and a sly grin
