Quick license question

[Jason Edmeades]

I know this has been asked in the past, but whats the deal in using GPL 
code in wine (which is LGPL)?
Can it be used or is it something to completely avoid?

You can't use GPL code in an LGPL project. You can use LGPL code in a GPL 
project by converting it to GPL.

Depending on what you're doing, this may not be a problem though, but if 
you're wanting to integrate GPL code into a Wine library, you'll need to get 
permission from the original authors of the GPL code to relicense it under 
the LGPL.
