> but you can't legally look at that stuff!

Hi, it's me, Mr Hair Splitting: to the best of my knowledge it's not illegal to read the source, but it would be illegal to use the source in your own application because you didn't author it or have a license to it

That's actually why the Wine and ReactOS folks want to disqualify folks who have read the source for fear they would inadvertently "borrow" implementation ideas, versus being able to explain to a judge how they, themselves, came up with the implementation. The key point is that Wine and ReactOS merely disqualify someone, not imprison or fine them
