The announcement of the fork and some additional information was posted to the wine-license mailing list [winehq.com]. At least one company [transgaming.com] has already stated that they will not be able to work with the LPGL wine (citing among other things, possible DMCA violations) and will be actively helping Rewind (with cash and code it seems)."

It'll be fun to see what slashdot story is posted about these project a year from now. (Even more fun than seeing what slashdot story is posted about them next Wednesday.)

Given Slashdot's track record, it'll probably be the exact same story!
