Can someone remind me again why we can't have GPL DLLs in the tree? Doesn't the "call through documented interface blah blah blah not derived work" argument cause the license for each two DLLs in Wine to be independant?
Basically it goes like this: LGPLed code can be run as a library, i.e. a function of an LGPLed dll can be called as a function call. GPLed code must be run as a (Unix) process if you want to use it from non-GPL-compatible code. See the GPL and especially the GPL FAQ for details.

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