Well to take up for the ReactOS folks.... Martin and Ge have done one hell
of a fine job on shell32 !!
And they have given every thing back.. Not once but twice!
As AJ was on vacation at the time and Martin & Ge spent alot of time
i'm sure spliting the patch up into smaller chunks so it would be 
excepted here.

I've lost count

I see these guys as our friends, comrades and they have to my simple 
knowledge
agreed to cross licence *all* there work th the LGPL so *we* not them 
can use
there hard work..... I have yet to hear of a single incidence where 
*wine*  code
was cross licensed back to the GPL.... So I say we should work with them!
As they have worked with us..... And the only thing you need to do is ask
and i'm sure they would cross licence .. And then if you wan't what they 
have...
Guess what???????? You are the one who needs to do the merge!

The only ones that need to feel sorry are the ones under a @#$ AFPL licence.
Not the people who believe in the spirit of *free* GNU software.

To sum this up..... *WE* every sigle wine user .... all 100,000 at the 
last estate
should be glad that were in the company of the people at 
http:www.reactos.com
as they are *our* friends & comrades and not someone to flame!!!

I say long live http:www.reactos.com
