Checking the wiki page history, it was added after the reply Julliard send to Shefte in Jun 2022 (and why text is essentially identical). Similar to Shefte followup message, I was under the impression that there was a collaboration between the projects. Or at very least (Wine considered, although fully independent projects, upstream since ReactOS used parts of it), ReactOS code made its way to Wine.

From the IA link you provided, the full quote actually reinforces the previous.

>ReactOS (which aims at commercial usage too) can not directly utilize methods of development like dirty reverse engineering, and thus ReactOS can not share all code with the TinyKRNL project like we are sharing code with WINE.
