I'll say, Disney porting several windows apps (including, if i read it
correctly, an adobe app or two) to linux is a big step forward...  Cant wait
to see what's next from them..

They didn't.

CodeWeavers did the job for them (thats why it's available inside the latest 
CrossOver Office).

"Brooks said it took some time to
convince Disney attorneys that he
wanted to pay for the development
of the porting solution but did not
want to own it. However, Disney's
legal department has developed a
policy that enables Disney to
protect its intellectual property
while keeping within the statutes
of the GNU General Public License,
he said."

Any idea, what that second sentence ist about  (However...)?o

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.

Not from me. My questionning is more on why does he mention the GPL,
when Wine is under the LGPL... (I know you can transfer any copy of a
LGPL code to GPL, as per section 3 of the LGPL)
Do they use the standard CrossOffice, or a special "animation studio
only" version? Since Photoshop works in plain CrossOffice, I'd say it's
the plain version, but I don't work for CodeWeavers.

They are using standard Crossover Office version 2.0.1.
