If open source devs aren’t allowed to use the source code of windows to improve react, why the fuck should microsoft be able to copy and paste other people’s code for profit
Open source devs are allowed to learn from proprietary source code, including Windows' decompiled binaries, if they so choose. The fact that ReactOS and Wine have chosen to essentially self-sabotage by adopting a "clean-room" blackbox policy does not mean other projects must do so. Those policies are self-inflicted wunds, not mandated by any legal cases or standards.

How would an open source windows improve react? The tooling?
I think they mean ReactOS.
