[ros-dev] Will ROS and WINE still be steady be synchronized ?

[Aleksey Bragin]

As I already said, the difference between ReactOS and WINE, as it's  
written in that Wine mailing list, is that ReactOS "is known" [by  
some] for reversing MS binaries, and Wine is not known for reversing  
MS binaries (though it does not imply ReactOS is always doing it, and  
Wine did [does] not reverse engineer).

Also, Wine is not "Open Source community", it is *part* of Open  
source community, as are thousands of other projects, which somehow  
form the general perception of projects.


WBR,
Aleksey Bragin.
