Well, for one, we have a proprietary product that links to
Wine; we would continue to sell that.

For another, we would continue to sell services to organizations
who wish to use Wine, but can't because it isn't complete enough.

And finally, we would sell services to organizations that need
to depend on Wine, but cannot do so without the assurance of
qualified support to back up that dependence.
