crossover programs missing from source code

[Theodore Dubois]

The following programs in Crossover are absent from the source code download:

assocscan
autorun
ctfmon
cxcplinfo
cxdummy
cxinstallfonts
cxmanip
cxmklnk
cxnative
cxwget
ddhelp
extract
findfast
icwconn1
imjpmig
maildoff
mdm
mosearch
netscape
ntoskrnl
pstores
qttask
reboot
sendwndcmd
winewrapper

Can I get an explanation for each of these?

That's a question for Codeweavers support, not wine-devel.

[Vincent Povirk]

The LGPL doesn't require us to publish the source code of individual
.exe.so or .dll.so binaries if we're not basing them on LGPL code. I
haven't checked the whole list, but most of these are programs
CodeWeavers developed internally and thus controls the copyright on,
and they mostly exist for integration with other components of
CrossOver.

That doesn't mean we can't or shouldn't publish the code, just that we
probably haven't considered it. At the very least, I think we want to
publish the source code of anything that exists for Windows
compatibility.

Note that ntoskrnl.exe is actually in the dlls/ directory of the Wine
source tree, and it should be there in the CrossOver/Wine source code
as well.

In particular, all the cx* programs are Crossover-specific and should
not appear in upstream wine at any point.
