[ros-dev] Moving svn to another contrury or not

[Rick Langschultz]

i don't think that the SVN server should be moved to another country  
for reasons of Reverse engineering. I think ReactOS should have no  
Reverse Engineered code within it. Reverse Engineering could be bad  
for the projects publicity and code-base. If you did want to mirror  
the SVN repository for localization purposes, or a faster connection  
that would be great. I think that reverse engineering of the  
Microsoft Code is wrong!!! And if programmers within this project  
want to reverse engineer they should start their own projects, with  
their own names, and use their own code. How would you like your  
product(s) to be stolen?
