Yes.

Either reverse engineer and write docs (which can be used by ReactOS  
developers, provided they contain no source code derived from  
disassembly), or reverse engineer and write test cases.

The latter method is [presumably] used by Wine developers, and it  
provides a very good legal ground.


With the best regards,
Aleksey Bragin.
