wine users - Aug 2002 - Quickbooks and Wine

CodeWeavers apparantly has Quickbooks running (unsupported) under CrossOver
Office 1.2. (Quicken running supported, for what *that* is worth...)

Codeweavers puts its code back into Wine; the only thing they don't is
anything they make for installation purposes. As such, if you can get it
installed, you'd expect to have luck running it under the latest CVS.

Of course, CrossOver Office doesn't cost much, either...

(I'm still waiting for a response from MYOB Australia (MYOB's head
office)
about my offer to port MYOB to Linux for *free* using Winelib. Hopefully the
Quickbooks scenario will change things.)

If Codeweavers does not return installation code to wine CVS, doesn't
this violates the LGPL?

AFAIK, Codeweavers was returning every change back to the wine CVS tree.

I don't want to flame Codeweavers, I personally want them to succeed.
However I would like to know if this is true or not.
