Hello,

I'm a (mostly windows, but with some linux skills) programmer from russia who is interested in helping developing Wine, but due to all the mess I read about the legal issues I want to ask first.

 

What is Wine's position regarding people who had seen the windows source code? I tried to search for this topic, and, found this: http://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Reading-Non_002dFree-Code.html

 

After reading this, it looks like it's ok if someone have seen the windows source code, and provided he is not going to directly copy unmodified source code (what a stupid idea!), nor refer to it, he would be considered as a good/trusted person?

 

Please clarify this to me.

 

 

Regards,

Dmitry Morovkov.
