Yes, I remember that discussion, it was very interesting, but it was quickly became obvious that the whole thing is very nuanced, and what may seem too much of a coincidence for an outsider (comparing the codebase of stolen or licensed source code of Windows with React OS), it could have a very rational explanation. They took the huge effort of complete rewrite and clean room implementation just for that! So not only it would make no sense for them to cheat, it would mean actually harming the project and causing its demise. Nobody in their right mind would do so.
