In preparation to hist talk at the upcoming FOSDEM conference in Brussels, ReactOS project leader Aleksey Bragin in an interview details the code audit that the project is going trough, and reveals the intellectual property minefield that such a large reverse engineered OS brings. "I can't stress this enough: up to now, no suspicious or illegal code has been found during the audit. Buggy code - yes, this was either fixed or rewritten. Also, another part which is sometimes speculated about - that the remaining 3% of the unaudited codebase is illegal - this is completely wrong."

"I can't stress this enough: up to now, no suspicious or illegal code has been found during the audit."
That's not true. There was a lot of compromised kernel code found in reactos. Of course it has been rewritten now but that doesn't change the fact that he's lying.
I recall seeing some logs on reactos and some conversations bettween the developers that proved this.
At least the good new is that when the code audit is over, someone or some people will have learned not to include illegal code again.
