wine users - Mar 2008 - GNU Lesser General Public License gurus or WineHQ contact

Did you check out that iPhone SDK keynote?  It makes me want to sell software.

Do any of you GNU LGPL gurus understand the license
http://www.winehq.org/site/license to know if we can distribute Wine
to run our MS Windows executable?  I'm sure it's something basic (for
a license groker).

I'm not linking with Wine, I just want to install it on the iPhone (if
Apple allows it through their developer programs) and have Wine run my
exe, managed by a Mac OS X app.

Or do you know the WineHQ contact to ask?

Regards.

Doesn't the iPhone use an ARM CPU?  How's WINE going to help you there?

He could, but that's not what he described.

I guess that the goal would be to run applications written for windows CE.
Taht could be the beginning of wine support for this platform, as the API is 
very close to the x86 version.

Can't disagree there...  I need a replacement for my Dreamcast.  :p

Not correct. It's your business what you do with your app. But if you modify
Wine itself in any way shape or form, you have to provide all such modifications
as the source files / patches. So that anyone can take stock Wine, apply your
patches, recompile it and have your app working with it.

As far as distribution - it's up to you how you doing it. You can
redistribute compiled (binary) Wine anyway you'd like. Wine is made to run
from it's own install directory. This way you can have multiple versions in
use at the same time.
