Doesn't ReactOS use the GPL instead of LGPL? That might be
incompatible since it's one-way compatibility (i.e. LGPL->GPL is
allowed but not vice-versa). I don't know with certainty, but you
should definitely ask someone knowledgeable (ReactOS devs?).

Of course this applies if you look at ReactOS code itself not the one
pulled from Wine which should still be under LGPL, but what's the
point of looking at Wine code in ReactOS sources?
