Can this checksum routine be contributed to ReactOS. Or is it not allowed since he disassembled Windows.

  The routine itself would be copyrighted, but someone should be able to make a clean room reimplementation of the original algorithm, assuming its not protected by patents. (IANAL)

    make a clean room reimplementation Which, as far as I understand it, could be someone posting a human-language description of the algorithm here (based on the blog post,) then ReactOS writing code based on that description. (IANAL.)

      Including the crazy constants.
