You don't need to.

NO! You are WRONG, sir! ~and I quote from 
http://www.codeweavers.com/services/

"Since 1999, CodeWeavers has been hiring the very best Wine developers. 
Chief among these is Alexandre Julliard 
<http://www.codeweavers.com/about/people/alexandre/>, the long-time 
maintainer of the Wine Project itself. In addition to Alexandre's 
prodigious talents, we have consistently hired the very best Wine 
resources, recruiting them literally worldwide."

Wine is CO as is CO is Wine! Wine is the heart of CO with out it CW 
would not have a product. They get paid for working on Wine to support 
CO. Don't you see that?!

Missed my point! If his address has "name at codewreavers.com", than yes, 
that person does represent that organization.

This project is NOT LINUX or X11, it is a paid for add on to it. I pay 
good money for support and I expect to get it.

It is shocking to most FOSS code writers that maybe this is a real, 
truly, paid for project. "No! It can not be! I contribute to someones 
profit? NOOoooooooo~~~!".

Thanks,
