I'm sad. The LGPL seems like the clearest hope we have of protecting Wine against companies that want to take it and never contribute code back. Its protection might not be airtight -- but it would clearly communicate the spirit. And my impresson was that the majority of Wine developers agree.
Like the ODIN Project!
Good point.
The ODIN project's license is at http://odin.netlabs.org/License.phtml There was some talk of sharing code between Wine and Odin in 1999; see http://www.winehq.com/News/1999-50.html#0
We might want to update http://www.winehq.com/others.html to reflect the current status and license of the Odin project.
I'm not quite sure whether the Odin license is compatible with the LGPL. It looks fairly GPL compatible, but I didn't look hard. - Dan
