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."

Frankly, these negative people that want to shoot-down every open-source project they can find are truly baffling to me.
I don't get it - good, honest people are spending their lives dedicated to writing groundbreaking software - and the best thing some dummies can do with their time is kick developers in the face.
I consider the integrity of the ReactOS group to be much MUCH higher than most corporate entities. If we want to discuss the illegal actions of a software development group, Microsoft has the longest list of offenes I can think of (whether actually criminal or just sinister). The fact that the ReactOS group has the confidence and sheer determination to clear their name from all the public poo-slinging like the above post from 'exception' - I believe they will come out smelling like roses.
