You are saying that ReactOS doesn't use clean room code? Source?

I'm saying nothing, i posted the link of the Wine developers claim for why not accepting contributions by ReactOS developers since the post i replied to wrote that ReactOS contributed to Wine.

I believe the integrity of ReactOS's clean room reverse engineering has been called into question in the past when it was found that there were some header or code files with sections that matched leaked Windows Server 2003 code or something like that. Can't recall for sure though.

It's common anti-ReactOS slander.

I keep seeing it pop up over the years. Never substantiated.

They posted their source for their claim (which is different than yours). Click and read it.
