    Alright

    wget http://source.winehq.org/source/ChangeLog

    I count 14826 changelog entries
    $ grep @ ChangeLog | wc -l
    14826

    226 of which are from a transgaming employee
    $ grep -i @transgaming.com ChangeLog | wc -l
    226

    And 1701 for codeweavers
    $ grep -i @codeweavers.com ChangeLog | wc -l
    1701

    So Transgaming gave back a little after all. But not that much. I browsed the top transgaming changelog entries and they concerned relatively minor stuff, like fixes for alsa audio support.

    Sorry but I'm still convinced that Transgaming has been a bad wine citizen (the fact that the licence permitted it doesn't change my opinion), and that they were deceiving the community when they said they'd give back everything to wine after they reach a certain number of subscribers. I guess they have reached that number since they have not yet filed for bankruptcy.
