If the license is GPL, and the statement that it is based on ReactOS
technology is made, what is the issue? The statement used doesn't imply
that "ReactOS Technology" is an entity that can represent Copyright, it
implies that it's based (derived from) ReactOS technology, which is
licensed under the GPL and thus open for modification without
restriction (save the restrictions present in the GPL).
The GPL requires any Copyrights that are in place to remain there. The
changed version must reflect the original. For example, if "Help -->
About" shows "ReactOS, Copyright (C) 2001-2005 The ReactOS Foundation,
Portions Copyright Alex Ionescu" or something similar, or a list, then
fine. A new release by someone else may change the "ReactOS Foundation"
part, but must still site it as a potential Copyright holder. However,
the new party that has rebundled it, owns the Copyright on the
distribution so long as it contains different things.
(Another aside: The Foundation can, at its discretion, create an
official "layout" for the installer CD and then Copyright that layout,
such that nobody else can use it. While it's possible, it can
effectively "cramp" the software and innovation surrounding it, and it's
not advisable. Others then must choose different "layouts" for their
installers of their derived works, and this would require heavy
modifications to installers and the like to find files in new locations.)
A little bit about Copyright Law, now. A developer holds copyright to
the portions of the code that (s)he contributed to the project, and that
is all. The group that is responsible for putting it together, then
owns the copyright on the layout, and so forth. So, if releases are the
Foundation's job, then whether they claim their Copyright or not, it is,
in fact, their Copyright. If someone other then the Foundation packages
it for the ReactOS web site, then *THEY* hold the Copyright, and they
can therefore claim that they are "the" Copyright holder for the
Official Distribution of the ReactOS project.
That does not exclude the developers to their Copyright, rather, it adds
to it.
And finally, please note the following section in the GPL:
"2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of
it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute
such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided
that you also meet all of these conditions:
" a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices
stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.
" b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part
thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties
under the terms of this License.
" c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively
when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive
use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement
including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no
warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users
may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the
user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program
itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement,
your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)"
According to this, if the program prints notices, these notices must be
updated to reflect the state of the program. If the program does not
print such notices, the modifying party is not required to change them,
because they do not exist.
If there is something here that's a violation, then enforce it.
However, from what I can tell just waking up and seeing this in my
e-mail box, the author in question did even more then they had to do to
be compliant.

CHAPTER VII. THE FOUR CLASSES OF SOCIETY. THE FOUR CLASSES OF SOCIETY. "After the herald had given the names of the wrestlers who were to make the first round, the fellows came in. They were dressed without any clothes to speak of, or rather they were quite undressed, with the exception of a cloth around their loins. They came in on opposite sides of the ring, and stood there about five feet apart, each man resting his hands on his knees, and glaring at the other like a wild beast. They[Pg 231] looked more like a pair of tigers than human beings, and for a moment I thought it was not at all unlike what a bull-fight in Spain might be. I turned upon her choking with anger, but her melting beauty rendered me helpless. Black woods were on our left. "Shall we turn in here?" I asked. "None of that with me," he growled. "Do you know who I am, Countess Lalage? I am Leon Lagage, Count of the Holy Roman Empire, and your husband. Incomparable woman, you cannot alter that fact. For better or worse, for richer or poorer, till death do us part!" I have in this way imperfectly indicated a methodical plan of generating a design, as far as words alone will serve, beginning with certain premises based upon a particular work to be performed, and then proceeding to consider in consecutive order the general character of the machine, mode of operation, movements and adjustments, general arrangement, strains, special arrangement, and proportions. ‘Alas! what is life, what is death, what are we, 11th January two best dresses.

The next morning he was up betimes, and cooked the boys as good a breakfast as he could out of the remainder of his store and what he could get from the hospital, and then gave what was left to whoever came. The comfortable crib, which had cost the Deacon so much labor, had been pre-empted by the Surgeon for some of his weakest patients. "You two step forward one pace," he commanded. "Gentleman, I've got my six. The rest are yours." "Where are you goin'?" he said sternly. Every now and then the crowd would break into the latest rhymings of MacKinnon's poet: A large thicket, at this moment, gave the dusty foot an opportunity of doubling, and, for an instant, diverging from the straightforward course, though it availed him little, he seemed to feel the breath of his pursuer on the back of his neck; his foot sounded as if at his heels; he drew his garment closely around him, turned suddenly to the right, and, bounding from the ground, the next instant a splash was heard in the little river, and the fugitive was safe from his pursuer.
