How about grabbing a dictionary and searching for appropriate words
instead? Interestingly, "fucking" and "shit" was spelled correctly. And
while we're at it, I'm sure your email client has a spell checker.

Personally, I think the GPL3 is a good license for many projects - but
not for all. And it's still everybody's own decision whether the license
is appropriate for them or not. In ReactOS' case, I personally think
that it's not a good choice.
