WINE is distributed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL).
As Darwine is built on WINE, it should also use the LGPL - I can't see
its sources to check. So, you should release your code under the LGPL as
well. 

This is normal for free distribution of Open Source code: it you don't
use a license you can't stop somebody from taking your code, treating it
as closed source and selling your work.
