Project README outdated?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I've got some issues with the current project README. Both the first and
the third point seems overly harsh to me. 

The first point relates to not decompiling the MS assemblies and states
that you cannot contribute if you have ever done this. Of course we
shouldn't ever copy their approaches and code directly, but to say that if
you have looked at these assemblies in the past you cannot contribute to
the project seems to me be wrong. 

The third point seems to me to be overly negative in nature, and doesn't
exactly inspire to involvement in my opinion.

I wan't change the these point before I get some feedback. Especially I
would like to know a bit more on if changes to the first point will affect
the legaility of the project.

I think they have to make the first point because reverse engineering and then 
coding
is illegal because as they said somewhere else you are 'tainted' you've seen
Microsoft's source so there nothing to stop you from just duplicating it, an
alternative implementation is one thing but duplication is totally another.

Hi!

The first one may be changed to:
Never decompile Microsoft binaries to see how they work. You shouldn't use 
ideas from knowledge gained that way. You can still help, but you need to use 
your own ideas.

Third one is really kind of negative. I would say:
If your code is rejected, please be patient. Try to change things, that are not 
proper or good enough. If you got no reason for rejection, developers may not 
have 
time to explain them self. Be polite when you ask for information.

I would delete sentence about complaining.
