wine users - Oct 2001 - winehq's wine vs Corel wine

Some times I read people claimming that
some applications run well (or installs well) 
with Corel's wine but not with winehq's wine.

As Corel is dead for almost a year (IIRC), is there 
something in Corel's wine that it is not on the official wine?

If it is, what is it? 

why isn't it in winehq's wine? license? design?

Or the people who make this kind of claim are 
(no offense) clueless about it?

I am no expert but I guess it is due to change to the Wine code,
some older versions of wine work with certain apps while these 
apps do not work with newer versions.

Probably.

I don't think anyone knows.

Mostly "design". Corel Wine was forked from Wine long ago, and the
trees
have since then diverged too far apart to be able to merge. This topic has
been discussed before, so it ought to be in the mailing list archives.
