[Fwd: Relationship between Wine and the proprietary versions.]

Hi folks,

I've got this request on wine-faq list (deleted the name, don't
know if they want to be on wine-devel). Anyone care to write
a small blurb about this?

Hi

Seing Wine, Crossoveroffice and Cedega, i was wondering about the
relationship between the projects. I find the concepts they are
pursueing important, but i don't like their licenses. I would like Wine
to be all that, so i would rather give my support to Wine than to the
proprietairy projects. That is not a question of money, but out of
licensing issues. So i was wondering if you could explain that in the
FAQ also?

Submitted to wine-patches.  The account I mailed it from isn't
subscribed, so it may take a while to get moderated on.

I also added an entry for how to update the FAQ since it's recently
changed.  That leads me to ask - has WineHQ been updated to build the
FAQ/docs from SF rather than WineHQ CVS?

No, I haven't had time to rewrite those scripts.
If someone is kind enough to help out on this one,
I'd really appreciate it.

I think we need to get the scripts first.  Do you already have them? 
I thought Newman kept them in a non-cvs-accessible location on WineHQ.
 I don't have time to work on them either, but if someone saw the
scripts they might be so inclined.

They are in the tools/ module in the WineHQ CVS:
http://cvs.winehq.org/cvsweb/tools/

Namely 'make_winehq' and 'wine_release'.
