Debian And WineX

Posted by Hemos on from the i-wanna-install dept.

fdsa writes "After a heated debate, and under some pressure by TransGaming, an 'intent to package' WineX from sourceforge CVS for (non-free) Debian has been withdrawn. The message provides a good summary of the recent Wine chaos, and notes how WineX is effectively under a different license than stated. Here's a mail from their CEO Gavriel State on the issue."

    Ummm, transgaming is a leech on the ass of the Wine project, period. I personally hope that Wine scrapes them off ASAP.

    Funny enough even the .NET framework, in particular the subset of the CLR (Common Language Runtime), CLI (Common Language Infrastructure). Check out go-mono.com for more info on this, in addition to this microsoft and corel have announced plans some time ago to make and implementation of the C# (C sharp) and the CLI available for BSD. Microsoft and open source, who would have ever guessed?
