OK, I read it and I think you've a point.

I don't understand what you're arguing here. What is the `business case' for GNU Emacs?

[xxqs]

ok, name it "motivation" instead of Business case.

for GNU Emacs, the motivation is completely clear: it's a tool for developers, and some of those developers contribute and make it better for everyone.

For ReactOS... ok, someone seems to have a motivation, but that's completely beyond my understanding :)
