Interesting question, but perhaps ironically, ReactOS would become much more relevant and useful if Microsoft switched to Linux.
With the recent source code leak, your statement might be true where legality is required. But you could tinker around with the "real thing" instead of using its imitation if it is not nowadays. But the ReactOS community could also profit from that leak to accelerate their own development (to get a better understanding of the Windows internals, for legal reasons they shouldn't copy code).

When people blurt out "socialist" like that it lets us know they lack skills like the ability to read a dictionary and critical thinking. "I"m stupid, you should ignore me" is about all it contributes to the discussion.
There are days I'd like to not have to read four pages of pal666 calling everyone a moron.

Tannenbaum was wrong aobut Linux for the same reasons he is wrong about politics and that is why it's relevant, .... he's a toxic academic.
The fact is Tannenbaum and his OS are a failure and have been for 30 years.... even his attempt to reinvent Minix 3 as an actual open source OS is pretty much a failure, though not quite as bad as Gnu Hurd. And why is it a failure? Because he is a hopeless academic, the only people working on Minix openly are academics (it does end up used in other places too like Intel's spyware blob).

Since we're off on a tangent, I just find it funny how many people, Americans, blurt the world socialist around like it's a dirty word without even realizing that America is a democratic socialist country. We have elected officials that tax us to provide services for the betterment of society. Whether the socialist country elects Gandhi or Hitler is another matter.

It is true, that clean-room documentation from leaked code can be used to understand and reimplement internals better. But the danger of allegations of code theft is real.
