[ros-kernel] Microsoft releases software under an OSI apporvedlicense

[Waldo Alvarez Cañizares]

Hi:
 
OK it is not in sourceforge. Where is it? CVS? Another thing there is a program that is GPL for Linux search sourceforge.net it dumps content to XML and recompiles .msi from that XML I don't remember the name of the project, I'll look at home, I downloaded the sources some time ago and I have it on my ReactOS directory. 
 
Best Regards
Waldo Alvarez

Be careful when "integrating" this, it's not GPL but CPL, CPL is incompatible
to GPL...
Nonetheless just using it as a build env tool should be no problem in the
FSFs view.
