in fact a DLL override may be another form of 'crack' - given the situation I'm not owner of a Windows copy and need to override MS DLL which is not free to use without Windows license.
That's much less risky. First off, most Wine users currently happen to have a Windows license, due to the Microsoft tax. Second, most of the MS DLLs people need to grab can be downloaded directly from Microsoft, thus avoiding malware exposure.
Given the problem above - we can solve it by rewording in a similar spirit but leaving the bad word out:
"Gold: Application works flawlessly with some DLL overrides or other settings, etc. Copy protection issues are not considered as issues here."
Sorry, that doesn't do it for me. Apps that need cracks are simply not convenient or safe enough to merit a gold rating, IMHO. - Dan
