To me it makes sense for TransGaming to give back everything except DirectX 
since the focus of WineX is gaming and its the DirectX code and the copy 
protection support that is the bits that are making transgaming the money.

One advantage is that then TransGaming could move more of the "support 
dlls" (things like ole32, oleaut32 & so on) up to the latest WINE LGPL code 
(since they would no longer have any custom modifications to those dlls) 
and both base WINE and WineX would get better as a consequence.

OTOH, there may be valid reasons for TransGaming not to licence things like 
OLE/COM improvements back as X11 or LPGL.
