“I glanced at the ReactOS code tree, and in my opinion, there is absolutely no way on Earth this was written from a clean sheet only from the available public documentation.”

But ReactOS literally never claimed to have written ReactOS from scratch only based on the available public documentation. That's also not the standard required for clean room reverse engineering.

ReactOS has been in the works since 1996 and has faced allegations of code theft from Windows before. They've also conducted internal audits and have never been sued by Microsoft even back when Windows was the centerpiece of Microsoft's strategy.

This engineer is entitled to his opinions but, like he said, he's not a lawyer.
