[ros-kernel] Microsoft releasessoftware underan OSI apporvedlicense

[Waldo Alvarez Cañizares]

Hi Nate:
 
Yes I downloaded the sources the same day I sent this message. Seems that there were some changes going on in sourceforge. You know sometimes it even gets offline. Thanks anyway.
 
Regards
Waldo

They have a CVS tree with the source code, and I saw this file released
by the project on April 5th:

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.
