But as a user that's pretty much no problem to you at all. If you make modified versions of Wine you're fine if you make your modified version freely available to all, and that also helps make Wine better. - d.

I have a linux client and a windows server with same windows applications. My question is, how many licences I will need in windows and terminal server. thanks John Drescher wrote:> On Thu, Apr 23, 2009 at 1:24 PM, eyanson <wineforum-user at winehq.org> wrote: > > > Hi.

If you need to run programs from a windows server then you likely want to use a some rdp client for linux to connect to your windows terminal server. If you want to run some Windows app on Linux (e.g. Office or whatever) then you need to check what license you got for your app. You would install the app on the Linux machine, the windows server wouldn't be used.
