That's why we have to be _really careful_ what we "officially" recommend
to users. Look at what happened to original Napster. Judge didn't care
what their intentions were. But he did looked at what it was _meant_ to
be used for. So pls don't start this BS about winetools are good, they
help users but use them on your own risk agreeing that you comply with
all licenses. 

Authors of winetools know well and good that majority of it's users do
not have valid win98 licence.

Correct. Winetools is made by developer(s) and not users. If it's made by
users, then it has no reason whatsoever to be listed on the same page
with _developed_ programs.

No! It only includes _me_ as a developer, and other people who _asked_
"could it be done this way to make it better for me?". This _is_ open
source. You don't like it - you don't use it or fix it for your liking.
If you have user problems with using Wine, please, don't hesitate, and
_list_ them here. User is too of abstract word, talk about yourself
first. Or ask those "users" to tell us about _what_ do they need from
wine.

Last time I've checked this _is_ the place to discuss such a topic.
