I agree with d3d.

but i'am not sure about copy protection.

is that entirely done on dll level ??
if so.. it would surely be a nice thing
to ask transgaming what they think about
this hole LGPL "core" story.

having transgaming, codeweavers and all the
"might be future wine" versions using the
same core is surely in our advantage. ( and in
theirs too )

it would boost develepment of the wine "core"
by "i don't know how many percent" !!

and it also make's sure that most thinks will
stay compatible.

right now, wineX can not submit some patches
directly to wine because both core's are
becoming incompatible.
