Licensing
I have realised that this repository does not have a license, what would be the situation with a license? I am not sure how it would work with proprietary executables being contained within the repository, I am not sure. Maybe using GPL would be good?
This sums it up pretty well. Having the binaries is the main concern as the license needs to be compatible.
Ah okay, maybe this issue should stay open until a compatible license is found?
GPL doesn't allow modifications to proprietary things iirc. Just use a non-restrictive license like MIT / Apache probably.
How would it work with proprietary binaries being inside of the repository though? https://github.com/Atlas-OS/Atlas/tree/main/src/AtlasModules
For both ServiWin and DevManView, there is a license which states that you can distribute the application, but you need to include all the flies included in the .zip download. Isn't Atlas in violation of this license?

This utility is released as freeware. You are allowed to freely distribute this utility via floppy disk, CD-ROM, Internet, or in any other way, as long as you don't charge anything for this. If you distribute this utility, you must include all files in the distribution package, without any modification !
Isn't Atlas also in violation of Pssuspend's license too? https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/license-faq
May I distribute Sysinternals utilities in my software, on my website, or with my magazine?
No. We are not offering any distribution licenses, even if the 3rd party is distributing them for free. We encourage people to download the utilities from our download center where they can be assured to get the most recent version of the utility.
Hi there, dunno if it falls within the project scope, but we're collecting (possible) open source replacements for Windows components in our - early stage - Opendows git.
We are pretty sure that you already know the following resource, so we also believe it may be interesting to establish some kind of collaboration with ReactOS.
Hope that helps/inspires !
Have them downloaded when first connected to internet and make the user agree to their licences?
