wine users - Aug 2001 - NeTraverse going under

Is it true that NeTraverse just went under? Does anyone know any details?
Do they have and plans to put Win4Lin into the public domain so that the
Linux community can continue to support it?

To my knowledge, NeTraverse is "revamping", so it has not yet
"went under"

The clearest statements on all three  of these are from Jim Curtin
(Netraverse CEO) to the win4lin-users list - (and answers on the first
two, 'no' and 'reduced staff of 18 +4 on commission', have been
posted
to this ng on another thread, qv).

Paraphrasing Curtin's answer to the third,  Netraverse have an exclusive
use of the win4lin technology on a royalty basis from CA (who bought out
Popek's Platinum. I think). Netraverse will _eventually_ own the
copyright outright, but not yet - they _would_ then be in a position to
consider a more open publication of the technology, but clearly still
feel that the IP is a significant commercial asset, so 'don't hold your
breath'...
