So, you're saying that GPLed software could not be distributed running
under windows, macos, UNIX(TM)....  Nice to know that you think linux

complex isn't the right word here.  The problem is that it is UNCLEAR
in certain places.  I challenge anyone to show me what "work that uses the
library",  "work based on the library", and "whole" means in the context
of wine.

your "average" company must be considerably larger than any of the companies
I worked with....
