ReactOS The ReactOS project has released a new newsletter. "The past few weeks have seen quite a lot of activity. At least six major blocker bugs were dealt with, ranging from the network issue to various bugs in the command line console." On top of that: "Some people aren't aware that ReactOS was one of several projects that received hardware to test on from One Laptop Per Child. Aleksey has been playing around with it, slowly coaxing ReactOS to boot."

That's clear, of course. There is a certain risk, and the attack is predictable on arrival.

Still, I guess, they don't tend to invest many years of hard work just to get a legal suicide after all. There are many ways to cover themselves. I'm sure they have some lawyers to consult to, and the audit is also a part of covering.

Just as a note: Software patents are practically US-only. There is a big world outside that does not and probably will not accept patents for codes, algorhytms nor software methods.

As a summary, even though they surely will have some difficulties, they probably will have enough air to live on if they ever reach the release.
