Wrong. Read the license. They offer absolutely no support for the OS.
You're buying the binaries and that's it. (This could be a violation
of GPL too)

They have a support forum, im sure they would help people with issues.

I would have thought that small distros would be the worst people to
bundle Wine, especially if they charge for it under the illusion of
support. At least the larger distros have the resources to do limited
support of running apps in Wine before sending them off to winehq.

No matter what you think, this particular distro looks very shifty to
me. Possible license violations (not that I'm an expert, and I'd
welcome an expert opinion).

What's shitty about it? they are a small distro who is bundling CrossOver and Wine
and annoucing that they provide support for a select number of Windows applications
and games.. Seems to me you would be delighted by this publisity of Wine.

Also, IneedAname CrossOver Pro cost $69.95 up until yesterday, then it went on Valintines
Day sale and was ruducet to $59.95 ...

See: http://www.wine-reviews.net/wine-reviews/cxoffice-linux/codeweavers-valentines-day-sale.html

And even if they are in some way vilolating the GPL by not hosting the operating systems source
that has absoloutly nothing to do with Wine... You guy's need to take that up with gnu.org
