Unfortunately, the fallout of their audit process has been that many

For me, the main problem is that there are ReactOS developers who think

I think the problem is that the way you describe is totally legal in most
countries.
In fact, afaik it is only in the USA where you have this explicit distinction between
clean("chinese wall") and "dirty" reverse engineering.
Which reminds me of a similiar thread on lkml about which country's laws

here. hmm ...
btw. using their code as documentation to implement something on wine
should be safe nevertheless, shouldn't it?
I'd avoid their code if I were you.
ok, seems to be the easiest/cleanest solution ;)
