Isn't it a bit dangerous that people who disassemble M$-Code also submit patches to wine?
I was also curious about that and asked in the newsgroup but I got no really usefull answer so far. In Germany and Austria there shouldn't be a problem with this ( as long as the new EU-Urheberrechtsgesetz is not in force). But it could become a problem in the US and other countries. Maybe wine should move it's servers to Russia? :) If you want to be able to really support games then there has to be a lot of work in reverse engineering in order to get the copyprotection in place. Otherwise wine will be only able to run cracked versions. -- Gerhard Gruber Für jedes menschliche Problem gibt es immer eine einfache Lösung: Klar, einleuchtend und falsch. (Henry Louis Mencken)
