ReactOS suspends development for source code review (NewsForge) [LWN.net]

NewsForge reports that the ReactOS project, which is working to make a free version of Windows, has suspended work and started an audit as a result of some possibly tainted code making its way into their repository. "Jeremy White, founder and chief executive officer of CodeWeavers, which develops a commercial product based on Wine, said a number of developers from ReactOS have contributed to Wine, but several have been banned from contributing to the project because of concerns about code they offered. This was not necessarily because the code included something stolen or illegal, but because Alexandre Julliard, chief technology officer for Codeweavers, reviews the contributed code and was concerned about what the banned individuals had claimed as their own."

Just a 2 cents that might worth thousands, millions... who knows ?

While at it, why not ask for help to make a version to run on top of Xen ?

I belive a commercial version of Crossover seamingly integrating into Linux could prove to be much more effective crossing the Windows world and a good business bet to CodeWeavers.
