Wine BSD Fork 'Rewind' Emerges

Moridineas writes: "Since the wine project decided to change from an X11 style license to an LGPL license, a BSD fork has emerged, called Rewind (for 'Re-engineering Windows,' or something like 'Rewind to the old Windows days' in the words of Ove Kaaven) and currently hosted at http://rewind.sourceforge.net (but looking for a new home). 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)."

Yes, it is true at the moment, but more and more
architectures are switching to ELF/OLF, and i386
will be amongst them until 3.3, but probably even
3.2 - as Art has received the gcc/binutils config
he had requested, he will probably do it soon.
You can look for ELF on http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/
on the OpenBSD mailing lists (I think it was on
misc@).
