The word "tainted" is actually quite wrong, and is being misused  
everywhere.
A tea was tainted by polonium in a not-so-recent accident in the UK.  
ReactOS is not a tea, and we have no "polonium" commiters.

There will be a WineConf event in 1 or 2 weeks, and they say they are  
going to clear up the legal situation around Wine, around SFLC audit  
and around requirements to the developers, whose code may be commited  
to the tree.

When they do it, I would be very glad to know those requirements, and  
enforce them on ReactOS developers, so that we are on the common ground.

Your mind is ahead of you. "Taint obfuscated code", "Obfuscate  
tainted code", ...
Your question is obfuscated and may be tainted, I won't answer it.
